I've seen a vintage classic photo of an old prospector with his burro taken high up in the Colorado mountains. It also had some writing stating the elevation of ~14,000"+ ft. Does anybody know where I locate this? I've Googled for several hours and can't find it.

Thanks,
EarthEx

It's very similar to the first picture in the set, but taken high up and has high peaks in the background.

Are you sure it's a photo of a real person/burro? The only thing I've found, (trying to help ya out) is a pic of the Pikes Peak statue, "the prospector," it has text on the side of the statue and/or mts in the background.
