This is why we get the impressive views from atop Greenhorn Hill... er... "Mountain" :
From Wikipedia:
Greenhorn Mountain is the highest summit of the Wet Mountains range... The massive Greenhorn Mountain can be seen from Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Trinidad, and also from along Interstate 25, rising nearly 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above the surrounding valleys.
From Summitpost:
Although the summit just nudges above the timberline at 12,347 and only ranks as the 1,107 highest peak in the state. There isn’t a higher mountain for over forty miles. So Greenhorn’s summit provides a wonderful 360 degree view, and actually ranks as Colorado’s 11th most prominent peak.
As for Sputnik's pack--well, let's just say that Sputnik, being my Special Ed goat, gets gold stars just for not screaming his head off or having a panic attack about the blue fabric-monster attacking his back. This was a big step for my little idiot savant. And after all, he is only 15 months old. No point rushing things.
