about

Mount Harvard is the third highest mountain of the Rocky Mountains in North America and Colorado. At 14,421-foot (4395.6 m) is the highest mountain of the Collegiate Peaks and fourth highest summit in the contiguous US. Mount Harvard was named in 1869 by members of the first Harvard Mining School class, while on expedition with professor Josiah Dwight Whitney, the namesake of Mount Whitney. The same group named the peak next to Harvard, Mount Yale, after Whitney's alma mater. The group climbed Yale first, and estimated that it was over 14,000 feet in height. On August 19, 1869, the first recorded ascent of Harvard was made by expedition members S. F. Sharpless and William M. Davis. Harvard and Yale were the first 14,000 foot mountains in the Sawatch range to be named after universities. Later, nearby mountains were named for Princeton, Columbia, and Oxford, leading to the name "Collegiate Peaks" for this part of the Sawatch Range. [Wikipedia]

Sounds include: Ben Selvin’s Orchestra’s “Suite 16”; Paul Whiteman Orchestra’s “The Charleston”; Ceddleton Station on the Churnet Valley Railway, UK; and the Durango and Silverton Railway’s steam train whistles.

Here, you may find a melange of mellow ambience through a space-wild, spine-tingling galactic fantasy. ... more
