MOUNT OF THE HOLY CROSS

This famous mountain, 14, 176 feet in height, lies at the extreme northern end of the Sawatch Mountains, near the headwaters of Eagle River. The cross is formed by a deep vertical fissure in the face of the mountain, 1,500 feet in length, intersected by a transverse ledge of some 750 feet, both retaining permanently the deep snow with which they are filled.
