271. Tundra on the Rockies

This peak is on the rocky mountains in Colorado, at 12850 ft from MSL. These places are called Tundras. The surface soil is frozen and no vegetation other than low mosses can grow here. The ice has not melted completely even by June. A good motorable road passes through this point where tourists stop and watch the awesome beauty of the mountains. The shadows you find are cast by the clouds. There are no trees or buildings here.
