Yes; I believe that’s what they said…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!I have seen a very similar-looking photo of the cap at the point where the 40th degree of latitude hits the continental divide in northern Colorado. No way am I going up there to make sure no one has added a dimple or two.
@dougie
I was at some continuing education program when I saw that pic. Gave me the heebyjeebies just thinking about being that far above sea level.
Probably a lot less hoopla when that monument was set than when it was found. I wonder how USGS got up there.
Breathing is in the top ten things to keep doing at all times. I would imagine I would start seeing Munchkins and horses of a different color plus a flying house or two by the time I got anywhere close to those lofty elevations. My lungs are calibrated for 1000 msl.
Here is a great story from the 2006 effort to remark the intersection of the Continental Divide and the 40th Parallel. Definitely not for mere mortals to attempt. Razor-edged ridge line seems to be the operative word. You will find the names of Jerry Penry and Warren Ward somewhere in this story.

Kansas Territory to the east and Utah Territory to the west.
Wonder how precise (accurate) the published elevation is?

HELL, Ill go!
That is an amazing hike up Mt Neva, done it many times!
I would prefer to mount Neva. ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
@holy-cow Wouldn’t that be assault with a dead weapon?????
I still can’t figure out why people insist on climbing vertical rock walls and pitching a tent mid air. Is it a latent suicidal gene that was stirred from the bottom of the pool, or what? I wouldn’t even get in a tent more than one inch off the ground. And they had the nerve to call me teched in the head. I hope these “individuals” have a porta potty with them……
@flga-2-2
I’ve become more height shy in my older age. But even when I was climbing canyons and such that type of activity seemed crazy. I know a lot of locals that enjoy it. Also have buddies into hang gliding, not for me either.
I watched the sun rise over Grand Teton this morning. (Okay, the sun actually rose south a bit, but you get the idea.) It’s my first time visiting the area.
OMG! skeeter. You will have to check with Neva to get the correct answer Jeez. You raise these youngsters and give them plenty of books to read and all they do is eat the pages. ???? ????
I worked under JB Guyton in my first survey job, although he was the ships captain at that point and I was working with all the Field Chiefs. He waxed on about the mountains often as they were a favorite place of his.
