Shavano
![[Shavano]](images/shavano2.jpg) At 14,229 feet, Mt. Shavano is one of Colorado's Fourteeners. Mt. Shavano and the surrounding mountains are rich in Ute Indian lore, mostly related to the appearance of the "Angel of Shavano" (shown below) during snowmelt each spring. The Shavano townsite covered 120 acres at the height of the Colorado mining boom. ![[Shavano]](./images/shavano4.jpg) |
