Battle Mountain Road, Red Cliff, Colo.
"BATTLE MOUNTAIN is the most striking section of the Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway between Tennessee Pass and Glenwood Springs. After the town drops down into the picturesque town of Red Cliff, hidden in the valley of the Eagle River, it cuts its way spectacularly along a great series of sheer, pointed, out-jutting white faced cliffs, gradually rising until it travels along the top of the great Eagle River Cañon far below."
