Front-Ranger:
Sure, be happy to. A fourteener is a mountain that is higher than 14,000 ft in elevation. Colorado has a whopping 53 of them--more than all of Switzerland!! Your FRiendly Colorado tourist bureau

It was really spectacular on Friday, when the clouds cleared in the late afternoon. White snow on the peaks, orange aspens and cottonwoods and oak brush below, sky so blue you could drown in it.

Thanks! Sorta figgered it has something to do with mountain height, but it's good to get an authoritative answer! ;D

First frost in my neighborhood at 7300 ft last night (Front Range of Colorado, near the North American Continental Divide). I got my rosemary and geranium plants inside, but forgot about the lemongrass. Hopefully it will make it, it was a light frost. The elk are now bugling so constantly that it's become "white noise" it doesn't even wake me up.
