Tradition
One notable feature of Mount Zion is a white "M", maintained by the Colorado School of Mines. All freshmen attending the school climb the mountain and each add a rock on the "M" which they can take with them when they graduate. This is a tradition that has been going on since 1908 when the M was first created. The "M" has been permanently lighted since 1932.[4]
