Materials

Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Gunnison's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Two runways at GUC, and on the print they never touch. Runway 06/24, asphalt at 9,400 by 150 ft, cuts the sheet as one long diagonal from lower left to upper right, with the parallel taxiway and apron riding along its upper side like a second, softer line. Runway 17/35 sits well south of it: a short vertical bar, 2,981 by 150 ft, drawn with a stippled fill for its turf and gravel surface. Nothing crosses. The composition is a long stroke and a small tick, held apart by empty paper, and that separation is most of why the piece works on a wall.

The airport is county-owned and public, just southwest of Gunnison, and it serves the valley along with nearby Crested Butte. The valley pulls people in year round for skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, fishing, rafting and hiking, which is the kind of place this diagram quietly documents. Elevation is the other tell: 7,680 feet above sea level, set in small type in the lower corner under the identifier. High, dry, and mostly runway.

The short strip has its own rhythm. It is unpaved, unlighted, open for daylight use only, and available to small aircraft in the summer, so the print is showing a working field where the two surfaces do very different jobs. The valley has long been part of a mountain chain of stops: in 1950 Frontier ran a Douglas DC-3 routing that strung Gunnison together with Montrose and Grand Junction on the same round trip. Hung in a hallway or over a desk, the diagram reads first as a clean diagonal and second as a record of a specific piece of Colorado ground.

Gunnison (GUC) print, common questions

Where is GUC?

Gunnison, Colorado, at 38.5343 degrees N, 106.9317 degrees W, at an elevation of 7,680 feet. The airport is county-owned and public, just southwest of town, and it serves the valley and nearby Crested Butte.

How many runways does the print show?

Two, exactly as GUC has them. Runway 06/24 is asphalt, 9,400 by 150 ft, and runway 17/35 is turf and gravel, 2,981 by 150 ft. In the diagram they do not intersect: the short strip stands alone south of the long one.

What does GUC mean?

GUC is the three letter identifier for Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport, and it is the code set large in the lower right of the print, above the city, state, coordinates and field elevation.

How accurate is the diagram?

It is plotted from published airport information, so runway designators, relative lengths, widths and orientations follow that published record. It is composed as wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, signage and small service roads are the usual omissions.

What sizes are available?

The layout is rendered as clean vector line work, so it stays sharp from a small desk-side print up to a large statement piece, and the linework holds its weight in whichever colorway you choose.

Is this a good gift for a pilot or a skier?

It lands well with anyone tied to the Gunnison valley: pilots who have flown the 9,400 ft runway at 7,680 feet of elevation, Crested Butte regulars, or someone who just likes a spare graphic mark on the wall. It arrives as a specific place, not a generic aviation print.
