I figure this must be the summit of Rampart Range Road. There's a a spot to pull your car over and take in the magnificent view, and there's also this placard. The inscription reads: "Rampart Range Road, Constructed by U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service and Civilian Conservation Corps. Dedicated to your use and enjoyment, June 19, 1938." It's also got a ton of graffiti scratched into it. I don't understand why anyone would see this and say, "Gee, it would look so much better if I scratched my initials and some stupid message onto it." But there you have it -- many have apparently done just that.

Great view. People can be so thoughtless.
Ha, "Kilroy was here" lives on. Makes me think of the El Morro monument in NM. Earliest inscription is from 1617, "Don Feliz Martinez" was here.
Evidently, people just can't keep from it.
