Mount

One of the eastern Sawatch fourteeners. Mount Princeton stands apart from its Collegiate neighbours. Yale and Harvard sit deeper in the range; Princeton steps forward, above the Arkansas River Valley. Two things make the mountain. The Chalk Cliffs on the southeast flank, which are not chalk at all but weathered feldspar gone soft and white, visible from the highway and often mistaken for snow into August. And the hot springs that surface at the foot. Water that fell as snow on the summit returns warm, after a slow trip through the rock. The peak gets the light first in the morning and last at dusk, and the cliffs glow before the summit does.

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