My friend Dr Gary and I bushwhacked to the summit of 13,100 Montezuma Peak 
(Conejos County) yesterday. There were blue skies, lots of wildflowers and 
still a few drifts of snow. Birding was excellent for those species you 
just don't see regularly. Brown-capped Rosy-finches, Olive-sided 
Flycatcher, American Pipit, Prairie Falcon, Dipper, and feathers of 
White-tailed Ptarmigan were a delight to find. Pretty rigorous climb 
through the dead trees but you can also reach this peak by trail system  
from Elwood Pass.
