What’s the tallest named “hill” in the count What’s the tallest named “hill” in the country? (hint: it’s elevation is 13,761 ft.) ⛷🏔 the #colorado #ski13ers #backcountryskiing season is winding down. Still some good 🌽❄️ to be found but it’s going quick ☀️☀️☀️

The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
