The Crestones are a group of 14,000+ ft. peaks in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. Colorado has this thing about 14,000 ft peaks; they call them fourteeners. It’s actually not specific to Colorado, either, but rather a mountaineering term. There are 53 fourteeners in Colorado, almost twice as many as the next state in line – Alaska with 29. I’m fairly certain that Crestone Peak, the Crestone Needle, Kit Carson Mountain, and Humboldt Peak are all visible in this shot. Kit Carson should be the tall white one, middle image, near the right side. I snagged this photo on a flight to Phoenix from Minneapolis back in 2023 while flying out to surprise my mom for her 60th birthday. It’s not exactly a skilled shot, but I felt it came out quite clear and looks so vast. How about a few tunes about mountains for a pairing?
