Off Colorado SR 141 looking more easterly (the edge of the highway is at the right of the photo.) As far as I can tell, the conical peak on the skyline is North Mountain (9887 ft/3014 m). The valley is home to a mustang refuge.

And Colorado State Route 141. Looking southeasterly. The story behind the unpromising name is that a surveying party in the late 1800s was expecting to find water in the creek, and it was dry due to it being late summer. The insets show some views more to the left. The location is approximate. Disappointment Valley also contains a mustang refuge.
