Broken Off Mountain |
|
The face of this mountain crumbled millions of
years ago, leaving a near-perpendicular cliff that is an
easily-recognized landmark for travelers. It also provides a beautiful view from the ranch house at all times of the year. The ridge line marks the boundary of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. According to old-timers in the family, there are ancient Indian ruins hidden on the mountain. The meadows in this photograph are on the Peterson and Kimball ranches and provide pasture for cattle and horses in the warmer months. We see numerous elk and deer feeding here during their semi-annual migrations. This photograph was taken in October, when the oak trees were in full color. |
