Larry,
Thanks. In the mid-1980s I climbed West Spansh Peak. What an awesome view
from the summit. East Spanish Peak and West Spanish Peak were called the
"Breasts of the World" by Indians. The Utes supposedly thought them to be the
abode of angry gods and avoided them. The peaks abruptly rise 6,000 feet above
the surrounding plains. I think they are one of Colorado's greatest scenic
resources. Thei igneous origin gives geologists plenty to study - such as the
Devil's Backbone. Great place.
