This beautiful gem in Colorado may be one of the lesser known national parks, but it contains some of the deepest, steepest, and most spectacular canyons and cliffs in the country. A perfect example of “art created by nature”, the famous Painted Wall, with its dark grey Precambrian cliffs striped with pinkish colored bands of pegmatite, stands nearly 1000 feet taller than the Empire State Building! This beanie (worked in the round from the bottom up) features nature inspired semi-solid colors with just a hint of sparkle to represent the mica found in the pink layers.
