Mount Elbert, the highest peak in the Rockies, dominates this high-altitude survey of the San Isabel National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of glacial basins and steep ridges, including the La Plata Basin and the sharp Ellingwood Ridge. This era of the late 1960s shows the region in a state of transition; while recreational sites like Parry Peak Campground and Twin Peaks Campground are established, the terrain remains deeply marked by an earlier mining boom.
