Description
Horsetooth Rock, elevation 7,256 feet, caps Horsetooth Mountain west of Ft. Collins, Colorado. It is the area's tallest and most recognizable feature and can be easily seen from the city and surrounding area.
According to Native American legend, Horsetooth Rock is the remains of the heart of an evil giant, slain and cut in two by Chief Maununmoku. European settlers believed the rock bore a greater resemblance to a horse tooth, hence the modern name. Numerous routes lead to the summit; the most direct route begins at the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space Trailhead and follows the Horsetooth Rock Trail.
Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
