	CARTAGO - LoveToKnow Article on CARTAGO
		Cartago is built 4930 ft. above sea-level, on the fertile and beautiful plateau of San Jos, and at the southern base of the volcano Irazfl (II,2ooft.).
		Some of its older buildings, especially the churches, are of considerable interest; but all bear marks of the volcanic disturbances from which the town has suffered on many occasionsnotably in 1723, when it was nearly overwhelmed by the bursting of the flooded crater of Irazfl, and in 1841, when it was shattered by an earthquake.
		Cartago is said to have been in existence as early as 1522; it was probably named in 1563 by the Spaniard Vazquez de Coronado, to whom its foundation is often ascribed.

		Cartago Peak is the informal name given to the highpoint of a series of granite pinnacles along the Sierra Crest, four miles west of the small town of Cartago.
		Cartago Peak is most commonly climbed from the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) via Death Canyon, a roughly 31 mile round trip excursion out of Horseshoe Meadows.
		This is the shortest option, with round trip stats of only 9 miles and 6,700' gain, but despite the modest stats this approach is not to be underestimated--it begins in the desert at the 3,800' elevation, and involves slogging up seemingly endless steep, loose sand slopes.
