From the report the crash was at Maysville almost due west of Salida.
It appears that he was trying to go over Monarch Pass. It is also
interesting that the provided time from departure until crash (16
miles away) was 45 minutes.

Apparently the Monarch Pass route is incorrect. From another article
"The crash site is surrounded by Pomeroy Mountain, Calico Mountain and
Sewanee Peak."

That is about 10 sm north of Monarch Pass and does not appear to be a
direction that minimizes exposure to mountainous terrain.
