Ice Lake Basin turquoise San Juans Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
A glacial lake at 12,257 feet, in a basin ringed by Vermilion Peak and Golden Horn. The same milky turquoise as Lago di Sorapis in the Dolomites — same rock flour from the same kind of slow ice, half a world over. The hike climbs roughly three thousand feet from a trailhead off US 550, up through a basin that burned in 2020 and is coming back. Columbines arrive in late July. The trail is crowded by then, but the lake holds its colour either way.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
