Description

The Spanish Peaks of South Central Colorado have been among the most important landmarks of the Southwestern United States. Guiding Native Americans Tribes, Spanish and French trappers, Gold seekers and American Settlers. The Ute,Comanche, and Apache held the Peaks in religious awe and named the mountains "Wahatoya" meaning " The Breast of the Earth". The peak to the left is the East Peak and is 12683 ft above Sea level. The Peak to the right is the West Peak and is 13625 ft above sea level. These facts have been researched using Google. Thanks for stopping by.

Fine photo Bob. Really like your image at the zoom level. If you get in the Flagstaff, AZ area you will encounter a very similar set of peaks called the San Francisco Peaks by Spanish explorers in the 1620s. The Indians attribute the same sacredness as those around your Spanish peaks.
