The east end of the siding of De Beque has become a favorite spot of mine, alongside the Colorado River with Mt Logan in the distance. Mt Logan is not one of the taller mountains in Colorado. At 8,413 ft (2,564 m), it is not even close. But it is still fantastically colorful! A UP passenger special that left Rifle, CO 30 minutes earlier is hustling west toward the Cane Creek Subdivision.
