Mountain Views




Check it out! Look at the expansive view over the Arkansas River Valley on this cloudless December afternoon! Winter Solstice is near so get out there and enjoy the sunshine whenever you can.
*************************
Hiked up behind Tenderfoot Mountain (that's the cone-shaped peak in the background of the upper photo) above Salida to get a good shot of the Sawatch Range (lower photo). Several of the peaks are over 14,000' in elevation, "14'ers". Shavano, at 14,229', is the southernmost of the peaks (left hand side of lower photo). You can check out the rest of the range here.
