Visit the town's icon mountain - Horsetooth Mountain. Walk up to the base of the "left tooth" by the "back" trail. Partway up the tail - looking southwest towards Longs Peak, 30 miles away. |
Horsetooth Road shooting to the east. Heading west on Horsetooth you can see straight through the gaps between the mountain's "teeth". |
The green dot (right-center) is home. This peak is visible from my garage door. |

A walk to the top of the mountain seems easy enough. I saw those people pass by me not much earlier. No ropes or technical gear needed. Another trip up I'll visit the top. |
