The Rugged Gore
Before I retired, we lived in this north central area of Colorado. I love the Gore Range. We visit friends in this area often since its only 60 miles from where we now live in central Colorado. Below is a brief description of the Gore Range from summitpost.org
"Colorado’s spectacular but barely known Gore Range is host to many alpine summits over 13,000-ft and many more summits over 12,000-ft. In the relatively short stretch from Gore Pass in the north to Tenmile Creek in the south (60 miles), the Gore range is densely populated with 50 some mountains over 12,000-ft. The Gores, rather than consisting of large isolated mountains rising from the timber or tundra, consist instead of dramatic serrated ridges, with the summits being ridge junctions or high points. These dramatic ridges are riddled with gnarled, tooth-like spires that have mesmerized many world-class climbers."
Taken from Ute Pass, 9568 feet in elevation.
