The tornado is estimated to have touched down at about 11,900 feet, on the Colorado mountain.
That height makes it the second highest recorded tornado, in history.
In 2004, a tornado was recorded on California's Sequoia National Park over Rockwell Pass, with an altitude of more than 12,000 feet.
Mountain tornadoes aren't as common as ones on the plains, but they are spotted every few years.
No one was hurt, and no real damage was done by this twister.
It did however give the witnesses quite a thrill.
