Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out-of-Door Playgrounds of the San Isabel National Forest National Forest, there rises abruptly a high, sharp line of mountains, dark with forests along then base and white along their summits with everlasting snow. By day they gleam in dazzling white; by night they seem but the ghosts of mountains; and in the evening, when the light on the high peaks turns to rose and violet before it dies, they are beautiful beyond description. S0 thought, at least, the old Spanish friars, who reverently named them Sangre de Cristo Mountains. To the east of this range lies the lovely Wet Mountain Valley, and bordering that, the rolling hills of the Wet Mountains. Southward from both of these the Las Animas division of the Forest occupies the high country between the Culebra Range and the Span ish Peaks, landmarks for the returning westerner. The Sangre de Cristo is a sharp, saw-tooth range, containing numerous peaks above feet. Sierra Blanca feet) is the third highest peak in the State. The Las Animas division is similarly high and rugged, but the Wet Mountain division is much lower and more gentle in topography.
