Mountains extend from the left of the painting and then descend down and across to the right of the image. The mountains are a pink-orange colour at the top which gradually changes to deep blue at their bases. In the upper right corner, a break in the mountains affords a view of the sea. More mountains are visible across this water. In the lower left corner there is a rocky outcrop. Palm trees grow amongst the rocks.

A pie-shaped sculpture of a mountain range. The mountains gradually get taller, the shortest ones being at the tip of the wedge. On one side of the mountain range is a patchwork of prairies. On the other side is the Pacific Ocean. Along the bottom and back of the sculpture, the strata of the earth is visible. The mountains are snow-capped and rivers run down either side of them, perhaps representing the Great Divide.
