Panorama Looking North from the Summit of Mt. Antero, Colorado
This is a picture from my hike up the 14,269 foot Mt. Antero which is the 10th highest peak in Colorado. This mountain has actually reached a level of fame due to it being used as the setting for the Weather Channel’s “Prospectors” reality TV show. The mountain has a long history of being home to many rare gems and crystals that has made a few prospectors over the years quite rich. However, the name of the mountain has nothing to do with gems and instead everything to do with the area’s Native-American past. The mountain is named after Chief Antero of the Uintah band of Utes that once roamed much of Colorado and now call reservations in southwestern Colorado and Utah home. The trail of the mountain is actually a long four-wheel drive road that people with rugged off road vehicles can take to 13,800 feet. If you are like me who likes to hike up mountains then you are looking at a long 16 mile round-trip hike to the summit of the mountain.
