The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is named for its steep, dark cliffs and narrow, deep gorge that create an impression of shadow and depth, making it appear "black" from a distance. The canyon's walls are composed of dark volcanic rock, further contributing to its name. Additionally, the contrast between the canyon's rugged terrain and the flowing Gunnison River enhances its dramatic and shadowy appearance.
