Mount

The byway climbs onto Grand Mesa from Plateau Creek, sixty-three miles between I-70 and Cedaredge, all of it on top of a basalt cap that cooled in place close to ten million years ago. The mountain reads as flat because once it was a valley, and the lava that filled the valley outlasted every hill around it. Three hundred lakes pool across the top. Aspens up the canyon, lodgepole and spruce on the high meadows, the Land's End Observatory at the western brink, built of mesa basalt in 1936. Most days the view from the overlook runs eighty miles into Utah.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
