Nokhu Crags is a mountain peak and rock formation in the Rocky Mountains of southeastern Jackson County, Colorado, reaching an elevation of 12,485 feet (3,805 m). The name is derived from Arapahoe, Neaha-no-xhu, meaning "Eagles Nest." It is located within State Forest State Park just northwest of Rocky Mountain National Park. The peak is a part of the Never Summer Mountains on the northwest side of the continental divide, near the headwaters of the Michigan River. The peak is prominently visible from the west side of Cameron Pass, and from State Highway 14. It can also be seen throughout the southern North Park basin where it is known also known as "the Crags" or "Sleeping Indian" for its resemblance to the form of a supine chief. To the east lie the shallow basins of Snow Lake and the Michigan or American Lakes; to the north lies a snow filled couloir; to the west the mountain descends directly into the deep waters of Lake Agnes; and to the south lie Static Peak, Mount Richthofen, and the remainder of the Never Summer Mountain Range.
