Nokhu Crags, Mountain summit in State Forest State Park, Colorado, US
The rocky spires of Nokhu Crags reach an elevation of 12,484 feet within the Never Summer Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains.
The formation of Nokhu Crags occurred millions of years ago through sedimentary deposits in an ancient ocean basin, creating its distinct geological structure.
The name Nokhu originates from the Arapaho language term Neaha-no-xhu, meaning Eagles Nest, reflecting Native American connections to the land.
The summit requires careful climbing due to poor rock quality, with multiple class 3+ difficulty routes available through the American Lakes basin.
During evening hours, thousands of bats emerge from the western face crevices, while mountain goats traverse the steep slopes during daylight.
