Old Fall River Road Rocky Mountain National Park Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The first automobile road into Rocky Mountain National Park's high country. Opened in 1920, twelve years before Trail Ridge Road took its place. It runs one direction only now, uphill. Nine miles, fifteen miles an hour, gravel and switchbacks from Endovalley through the lodgepole pines, past Chasm Falls, up through the spruce and the krummholz to where the trees give out and the tundra begins. Closed by snow most of the year. Open from July to early October if the weather holds. Nobody on it is in a hurry; the road won't let them be.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
