Identify these peaks

Post by RickDalton »

I have this photo of my father from 1981, he says it was taken in Colorado but cannot remember where... Can anyone identify the peaks in the back ground? Would love to recreate this photo.

Negative on the relation to Justin Simoni. Are you basing that off my father's handsome appearance? :lol:

He is somewhere on the Hermosa Park Road, just across from the Dunton Road. I'd guess up 1/4-1/2 a mile or so.

That’s pretty cool. Well done Ryan! Rick, I may be in that area on 23 of July if you need a cameraman!
