The mighty Rio Grande Pyramid rules with great distinction in the distance. The mountain is the highest of the south central San Juan Range and is one of Colorado's finest mountain and wilderness experiences. In the foreground is an ominous sinkhole, caused by abandoned mines caving in over the past 100 years. Avoid these and other areas affected by previous mining activity for your own safety.
