Transmission line passing at 12,300-ft elevation. The line was built by the Central Colorado Power Company likely before 1915 and at 13,200-volts. Insulators were probably Thomas M-2221, a favorite of the company. This line was cut down and materials salvaged a very long time ago. The high country has all of the poles still remaining but conductors and insulators recycled elsewhere.
