Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

“Angel Knob” – 12,580 feet
Nicknamed by Ouray native Rick Trujillo, this rugged San Juan Twelver is
0.7 mile southeast of the Thirteener Whitehouse Mountain. The seldom-climbed
peak is at the head of the very rugged and trailess Angel Creek above Ouray.
The peak culminates Angel Ridge that separates Oak Creek from Angel Creek,
and Weehawken Creek is south of the summit. |
