San de Cristo Mountains from Black Mountain

[ttora4runner]

I had originally set out to drive up and over Medano pass into the Great Sand Dune National Park to get out for the day like I've done before but once out on the trail I decided that I didn't want to deal with the snowy conditions and instead opted to go up to the Black Mountain area to get a view of the mountain range instead. Glad I choose to drive this area instead, got see some areas/views I hadn't seen before. Made for a good day.
