Mt. Shavano ... altitude 14,229 feet. I must admit I have not climbed this mountain just yet, but it is on the agenda for 2009. At this time, I have summited 14 14ers with two repeats, and my goal is to reach the 20 mark by year's end.

Mt. Shavano is located in the southern portion of the Sawatch Mountains. Like the way Mt. Princeton is regarded as Buena Vista's pride and joy, Mt. Shavano seems to be the most adored mountain for folks in Salida. When there is snow on the mountain, a drainages above timberline come together to form the "Angel of Shavano" on the southeast side of the peak. It really does look like a pretty angel with her wings out!

Below are some of my photos of Mt. Shavano over the years. When I finally hike this mountain, I look forward to updating this page with more information and photos.

All the best,
Steve

	I am not exactly sure when I snapped this picture, but my guess is it was during my bike ride to Poncha Pass in May 2007. Or maybe it was in the fall! :p)
	Near the same spot as the photo above. This was taken during my first century ride.
	Three photos of Mt. Shavano from the rest area along Highway 285. View all my photos from this morning here: Chaffee County Views
