The collegiate peaks in Colorado

Left to Right: Lost Mountain, Mount Shavano, Jones Peak, Mount White, Mount Princeton, and Mount Columbia.

It is cold and there are cacti everywhere and I just want one good rock.

It's my first time on the western slope outside of Buena Vista, this campground being somewhere in Chaffee County. Really shocking how much greener the Montrose/Telluride area is than the Front Range. I immediately started looking at housing options the moment I saw Gunnison.

Grew up in SW CO. Four Corners!

The San Juans and Río de las Ánimas Perdidas hold a special place in my heart.

The San Juans are remarkable. RMNP was so surreal that it made me move to Colorado to be within an hour's drive of it, but the mountains around Telluride put it to shame.
