Tenderfoot Mountain is sometimes called the "S" Mountain by virtue of the fact it contains a large S near its summit. The S Mountain is a Salida landmark and serves as the base for many activities, such as jogging, hiking and biking. During the winter holidays it is decorated with numerous lights. The mountain is just east of the Arkansas River.

Pretty cool. I wonder if one could hang glide off that mountain? Not that I would of course---well maybe.......
Cool! I wonder how they installed that S.
I like that! It reminds me of the one I saw in Tempe, AZ with the "A" on the side.
Good ole "S" mountain. Always just took it for granted; seems like it was formed with rocks and once in a great while, a group would go re-paint them to keep it visible. Now it looks as though it's made of big white sheets of some material. My kids had a hard time with the "S" -- all they could see was the numeral 5. :-)
We always laugh at the S in Salide and the W in Gunnison. No way would Coloradoans deface a mountain like this these days!
