Thanks for the explanation Richard, I always thought the Sangre de Cristo Range was a particularly attractive part of the Rockies. Appreciate the links too! I'm wanting to plan my own mountain top hike this season while my legs can still get me there!
Thanks Richard! I was wondering why I suddenly got 7 new subscribers today. Oh and I love "Paternoster Lakes" is that a US term or can I use it here in Scotland?
The Oxford English Dictionary says the phrase was first used in print by New Zealand geologist Charles Andrew Cotton in the 1940s. I learned it in introductory college geology in 1966.

I'd have said "paternoster lakes" was global for English-speaking glaciologists... there is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Glacial_Paternoster_Lakes_in_Mull_in_Scotland.jpg so I give you total permission to use the phrase :)
