MOUNT PRINCETON! A Tribute With Pictures To "Buena Vista's Mountain"

Mt. PrincetonThere are many reasons why people choose to live and vacation in the region of Buena Vista. But among most, the stunning view of Mt. Princeton is often mentioned as a major factor in our region's lure.

Below is a collection of some of my digital camera pictures of Mt. Princeton. The array of photos were taken in Nathrop, Johnson Village, Salida, Trail West and on the very summit of Mt. Princeton, which measures at 14,197 feet above sea level.

For us locals who live here all year round, we can typically look outside some of our windows to view Mt. Princeton, but for those of you who live long distances, this pictorial is dedicated to you! :)
