Another view of the unusual geology of this peak. There is an easy "fifth-class scramble" to the summit, though the rough exfoliating nature of the rock does somewhat discourage. |

Since no one else has answered, Crystal Peak. My mom's side of the family is from Delta so we know that area well. |

De Beque canyon? |

James -wrote: It’s not Elkhorn, which is farther west. On the Shoshone National Forest map, which lacks detail, this mountain appears to be Lake (9096’). It’s just outside the detailed maps that I have, so I could be wrong. Sunlight Creek did cut this impressive gorge, so James may go next. |

Let’s get this party started. My initial impressions: at first I thought it looked like something from Glacier NP…but when I zoomed in and saw the colors in the rock it reminded me of the Uintas. That’s all I’ve got. |

Can we get a hint? |
