Mount

A glacial lake three miles long, sitting at the foot of the pass that took its name from the wagon party trapped here in the winter of 1846-47. In summer it turns the kind of cobalt the high Sierra reserves for the snowmelt lakes. Families launch boats from the west end, kids cliff-jump off the rocks near China Cove, and trains still cross the pass above the lake the way they have since 1868. The Pioneer Monument stands at the east end, its 22-foot pedestal marking the depth of the snow that winter. The lake doesn't carry the weight. It just shines.

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