American Southwest (#05): Black Canyon, Colorado
An Awesome Gorge ... In just 48 miles in Black Canyon the Gunnison River loses more elevation than the 1,000-mile Mississippi River does from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The power of fast falling water enables the river to erode tough rock.
The River drops an average of 96 feet per mile in the national park. It drops 480 feet in one two-mile stretch. Fast, debris-laden water carving hard rock made the canyon walls so steep.
Slow, continuous, unyielding erosion formed the canyon, drop by drop and flood by flood. Rock falls and landslides play occasional roles. The river first set its course over soft volcanic rock. It then cut down to harder, older crystalline rock of the dome-shaped Gunnison Uplift. Once entrenched in its course, the river had to keep cutting through this hard core for two million years. The Gunnison River now carves its Black Canyon more slowly because dams upstream lessened seasonal flooding. Undammed, the river used to slam through this gorge in flood stage at 12,000 cubic feet per second with 2.75-million-horsepower force, dramatically scouring the riverbed and eroding canyon walls. At Warner Point the gorge is 2,772 feet deep.
The canyon has been a mighty harrier to humans from time immemorial. Only its rims, never the gorge, show evidence of human occupation -- not even by Ute Indians living in the area since written history began. No early Spanish explorers to the Southwest reported seeing the canyon. The expedition led by Capt. John W. Gunnison, whose name was given to the river, bypassed the gorge in its search for a river crossing. The first written record came from the Hayden Expedition of 1873-74. The Hayden and, later, Denver & Rio Grande Railroad survey parties, deemed Black Canyon inaccessible.
