A Video from the Peak, Mt. Columbia

It’s not a full 360, but here’s what the world looks like from the very top of the magnificent Mt. Columbia in the San Isabel National Forest of Colorado.  It's humbling to climb one of these so-called 14ers and think that only four states in the nation have mountains as high as the one you just climbed.  Those states are California, Alaska, Washington, and Colorado.  A few of Alaska's peaks get a lot higher, but Colorado has more of them.  Somehow I just always used to assume that all the states that share the Rocky Mountain ranges had 14ers, but even Wyoming, and New Mexico, and Utah top out well below 14,000 feet.  Make it full-screen when you watch the video, but do yourself a favor and turn off the audio.  It's just the inane prattle of peak-baggers (and me), profaning a sacred moment with senseless blather....
