Maybe that peak – or ridge – should be named "Olaf's Overlook #2" -
After all, there are two rivers named "Los Pinos" in Colorado, both crossed by the D&RGW – one flowing east past Osier from near Cumbres Pass and one flowing south just west of Bayfield – so why not two ridges named "Olaf's Overlook"? (For the other one see [ngdiscussion.net], and the link thereon.)
And here's a view from across the pond, taken on the occasion of the very last eastbound freight - 08/29/68:
Is that your vantage point at the extreme upper left of the above photo?
