Landform

A Sawatch horn that still holds a snow cross — Notch Mountain opposite, Bowl of Tears below, and a White River wilderness the Bells do not own.

Field note

From Notch Mountain the couloirs read as a cross after a good winter. Minturn is the town. This plate is Mount of the Holy Cross / White River National Forest, not the Maroon Bells and not a church window.
