View from Sierro del Ojito

Zebulon Pike climbed this 600-foot butte adjacent to his camp in early February 1807. The wooded Rio Conejos winds through the foreground. Blanca Peak looms in background, just south of the prominent dip in the horizon that marks Medano Pass, where Pike entered the San Luis Valley.
