Entitled Pacific Crest Trail, Oregon, this hand painted 11 x 14 plaque by Deborah Smith could also be entitled “Mountain Trail Anywhere, USA.” This Rookwood plaque pulls at my backpacker heartstrings. The 11 x 14-inch plaque format is a relaunch after a 100-year hiatus. An idyllic trail scene for the wanderlust in all of us.
