That is Marble Mountain on the left and Humboldt Peak with Crestone Peak in middle back. These are the Sangre de Cristos about 50 miles nw of Walsenburg. This photo could have been taken from the front yard of the house I grew up in.
I love these peaks!!🏔
My mother was raised on a ranch at the bottom of the east peak, and my father was raised on a ranch at the bottom of the west peak; these peaks are very dear to me.

So beautiful 😍 Miss you so much!!
Written records about Huerfano County predated the arrival of Europeans by many centuries, in the form of petroglyphs. The attached photo, taken in 1944 near Cucharas Canyon 17 miles east of Walsenburg by archeologist August Chatin, includes several petroglyphs that would have conveyed clear meaning to passing Native Americans. For example, based on information in "Petroglyphs of Western Colorado and the Northern Ute Indian Reservation as Interpreted by Clifford Duncan" by Carol Patterson, the two vertical parallel wavy lines in the center of the rock panel joined at the top by a stylized snake head would indicate the direction to go to find a spring or river, presumably in Cucharas Canyon (photo courtesy of Janet Chatin).
