	wanttobewest	Re: Which one?
	Hasn't voted	This photo was posted in the Sangre Overview section which made reference to the red color of the Sangre de Christo Mountains in the proper lighting conditions, hence their names. I felt that this lucky shot at dawn illustrated that point.. It was taken from the Wet Mountains about 10 miles south of Westcliffe, at an oblique angle that is different from what we normally see. I believe that Horn Peak is the small tip of the mountain that is visible at the right edge of the picture. I will send you picture of the entire range taken from this same location and you can compare it to the Sangre Panorama at http://www.sangrespanorama.com/

That ain't Horn on the far right...

Voted 10/10

its Little Horn Peak and Horn Peak is not in this photo. Horn is just out of the picture to the right of Little Horn Peak.

I would recommend posting this photo undder the Humbolt Peak page because the big beautiful mountain left of center is Humbolt. Your looking at its east ridge.

To the right of Humbolt is Colony Baldy. To clear things up I copy and saved and labeled the photo to clear any confusion up.

Little Horn Peak from the southeast is very distinct.
