While I was furiously painting this piece as to catch the fleeting light, an old man and his grandson pulled up beside me in a golf cart.  I turned mid-stroke to give them a smile, and the old man(and I mean OLD), said rather grumpily, "Are you painting that mountain?"  "Well, yes sir, I am giving it my very best try." I replied.   He went on to tell me (w/out even a whimper of a smile), in the most intense sort of voice, that his great grandfather had settled this valley in 1864.  In 1905 the government decided they were going to turn it into a National Forest.  They needed to name all of the surrounding mountains.  Their first inclination was to name this one "Mount Baldy".  However, there were already to many Mount Baldy's in Colorado.  So, they decided to name it after the first settler in the valley.  That was this man's great grandpa.  Toten Mountain.  Happily, the whole family still lives and prospers there.
