Pikes Peak Highway Front Range Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Nineteen miles up from Cascade, the road climbs through three forests before it runs out of trees. Above eleven thousand feet there is only granite and tundra and the long view east, where the plains begin. The summit sits at 14,115 feet, close enough to thin the air that drivers are asked to take their time on the descent. Katharine Lee Bates wrote 'America the Beautiful' after riding up by carriage in 1893. The road is paved the whole way now. The view, by all accounts, has not changed.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
