The Silver Miner Giclée Print

The mural that greets every visitor arriving from the south — now available to take home. The Silver Miner depicts a miner soaking in the sweeping views of the Sawatch Range, surrounded by 15 Fourteeners including Mount Elbert and Mount Massive. It’s a portrait of Leadville at its core: hardworking, historic, and endlessly beautiful.

Painted by Michael Carson — whose work hangs in private and corporate collections across the U.S. and who has shown at Denver’s Abend Gallery — the mural was completed on August 23, 2024 as the final chapter of The Timberline’s renovation. Carson’s signature interplay of color and light gives the piece a warmth that photographs alone can’t capture.
