MT. MASSIVE! ("Lazy Shot" From Car In Leadville, Colorado)

Mt. Massive, altitude 14,421 feet ...
Mt. Massive

Okay, perhaps I am being hard on myself, but I took this picture of Mt. Massive while sitting in my car on Highway 24 in Leadville. Heading out of town (towards Buena Vista), the massiveness of Mt. Massive dwarfs over the highway and so I pulled over, stuck the camera out the window and cha-ching! :)

Mt. Massive is the second tallest mountain in Colorado (alt. 14,421 feet), just twelve feet below Mt. Elbert's summit. Mt. Massive is well-known as the 14er that has the largest land area above 14,000 feet. If you're in town of Leadville on a clear day, Mt. Massive is that stunning mountain overlooking town to the west. You can't miss it!
