Ed, I live about 15 miles NW of Golden in unincorporated Gilpin County. I have views to the west of about 50 miles of the continental divide and can see many of the peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park. Here is the view looking west off my deck. The peaks in the distance are in Indian Peaks Wilderness and are in the 12,000 ft to just under 14,000 ft range. The most prominent peak right in the center are two connected peaks, North and South Arapahoe Peaks although the north peak is mostly hidden by the south peak. I can see Longs Peak from my living room. It is 14,225 ft or so.

And moose in the Indian Peaks west of my house.

Holy Cow! You don’t need a garden! That view would be enough to feed me for days!

Oh, my goodness...what magnificent beauty.

I’ve lived in Moose Pass, Alaska; Mammoth Hot Springs, Montana and numerous towns in North Idaho and now Oregon, but I have rarely seen such a beautiful place to live.

WOW!!

Thanks, Mountain Climber!

A propos of nothing, where I used to work there was a guy who came in who was missing all his fingers, he told me he had lost them to frostbite trying to climb either K2 or Everest.

I’ve never climbed mountains, that’s WAY too scary for me!

See ya’,
