Mount

The 25-mile stretch of US 550 between Silverton and Ouray, climbing through the San Juan Mountains. The road crosses Red Mountain Pass at just over eleven thousand feet and drops north into Ouray with little but air between the lane and the gorge. The colour of the mountains comes from iron oxide in the old silver-ore rock. The name has two stories: silver-bearing gravel in the original roadbed, or the price per mile to pave it in the 1920s. Both still get told.

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