Landform

A sharp alpine horn, the crown of the Sneffels Range. Cirques, late snow, and a summit that reads as a single tooth.

Field note

From Yankee Boy Basin the peak is a clean triangle. Dallas Divide in autumn is the postcard; the mountain itself is harder and quieter. One of the most magnificent single peaks in Colorado.
