"Virtual Hike" page 8:
View to the north from Headwaters Hill


As I said on a previous page, the view to the north from Headwaters Hill is obscured by the forest. So this panorama is what you can see as you emerge from the trees about halfway down the slope towards unnamed 11,545'. Mount Ouray dominates the scene in this direction - it's just a few feet shy of being a 14,000' peak (see map). In the foreground, you can see the dirt track at the far left - that continues down and joins with the Colorado/Continental Divide Trail.

In this photo, the Continental Divide follows the ridge from the middle left side, down to the right, and up to the top of 11,545'. From there, it goes back towards the left. The Divide goes across the shoulder on the left (west) side of Ouray (there's a foreground tree between it and Ouray). Water to the left of that line drains into the Gunnison and the Colorado. Water to the right flows into the Arkansas.
