Nokhu Crags
The summit lies just northwest of the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain National Park, near the headwaters of the Michigan River.The peak is prominently visible from State Highway 14 and can be seen throughout the southern North Park basin where it is known also known as "Sawtooth Mountain", "the Crags" or "Sleeping Indian" for its resemblance to the form of a supine chief.The entire region was subsequently thrust up with the formation of the Medicine Bow Range at the close of the Mesozoic Era.Around 24–29 million years ago, rising magma began to create volcanoes that were the predecessors of the Never Summer Mountains.The magma cooled into granitic formations and nearby, now vertical, shale metamorphosed into the hornfels that forms the present day Nokhu Crags.
