Description

**12,790 ft (3,898 m)**

Towering over the entire Sky Blue Basin, the Miter is a two-headed peak that splits the Blue Sky Lake and Iridescent Lake Basins. It is named after a "Miter" - the hat worn by Catholic Bishops. People also refer to this entire basin as "Miter Basin" because of the way this peak captures your attention.
