The peak's name commemorates Roger Toll, superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park from 1921-1929. Toll was instrumental in adding the Never Summer Mountains to Rocky Mountain National Park, but he failed in his efforts to add the Indian Peaks."
-from page 119 "Long House, on Wetherill Mesa in Mesa Verde National Park, is the park's second-;largest cliff dwelling. Construction began around A.D. 1200. Pots of pollen similar to those used in modern Pueblo ceremonies were found at the site, leading some archaeologists to speculate that Long House was built for ceremonial purposes, perhaps in an effort to reverse a long drought.
