Winter Peak

“Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments.”
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne


A snow covered peak looms over Colorado's
Eisenhower Tunnel near the Continental Divide.
 I took this photo as we were coming back from skiing. Traffic was at a standstill, as it often is during the ski season, so I was afforded many opportunities to make images from the car. It's not so bad being stuck in traffic when views like this are available.

As far as I can tell from the map, this mountain seems to be about 12,200 feet high.
