Name This Mystery Peak

by Holsti97 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 12:10 pm

Being a dairy farmer and a peakbagger I found this 1963 magazine cover interesting. Who can name this United States mountain that is over 12,000' of elevation?

Nice work Fred Spicker. It is Mount Sopris located in Pitkin County and part of the Elk Range. Here is part of a 2013 trip report on Peakbagger.com: "We camped in the parking lot among the mooing cows. I had pitched my tent nearby, but a herd of cattle came into the parking lot around sunset, so I decided to take down my tent and sleep under the stars next to the car. They were mooing as loud as they could, you could hear it echoing off the mountains."
