A Norton? I have no clue....
Who were the City of Loveland and Loveland Pass named after. Did this person every actually go there?
When was gold discovered in Black Hawk? And if you're really good, by whom?
Colorado has 53 14'ers.
We used to have 54! What happened?
If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
If I remember correctly (and remembering can be a chore these days), it has something to do with the "saddles" aka peak prominence (how much it sticks up above its surroundings).
To be classified as a peak, I think the peak has to rise at least 300 feet above a contour line that encircles it, and it alone. It can't be a "spur" or saddle of a larger peak.
Being part of a a saddle is OK, as long as the saddle dips down 300 or more feet below the peak in question.
I think some peaks were "re-classified" when the new definition came out.
Kind of like we all learned that there were 9 planets in the solar system. Now with the new definition of a "planet", Pluto has officially been dropped off the list.
So if you ask a 3rd grader "How many planets are there?" He will, to your surprise, say "8".

W.R.T. 14ers, I've seen the number be 52, 53, 54 and 58. Depends on how they are classified.
Colorado is home to how many National Parks?
