Stunning cliffs and mountains from 12,000 feet

Stunning cliffs and mountains from 12,000 feet
Stunning cliffs and views from American Flag Mountain in Gunnison National Forest. (Tony’s Takes)

Yeah, don’t get too close to that edge. While the view is beautiful, the fall is a killer. 😉

From our recent trip to Gunnison National Forest, this mountaintop stop affording stunning 360 degree views. Here, I was facing north with the “back side” of the Collegiate Peaks off to the right.

The big peak in the distance on the far left is 13,385-foot high Italian Mountain, said to be named that due to the green, white and red colors in its slopes that mimic the Italian flag.
