San Juan Mountains, Imogene Pass, Colorado
(Click image to enlarge)
Since my first visit here in the 1980s I have considered the San Juan Mountains
to be among the most beautiful and rugged in America. Situated in southwestern
Colorado and northern New Mexico, the San Juan range contains 19 peaks that are
over 13,000 feet (3963 meters) in elevation, 6 of which exceed 14,000 feet (4267
meters). This photograph shows the view looking east from a favorite vantage
point at a little over 13,000 feet.
