Name that peak! Visual Trivia.

Bliss is below Pine Mt. and Pine is the pointy one to the left of Bliss?

Post by **dima** » Sat Jul 18, 2020 2:41 pm

YES! Before this I had no idea that Bliss was observable as an actual peak from any direction

Alright. So I just did an overnight, and woke up to this view:

What are the 4 bumps, and where did I sleep? Not an official campsite, if that even needs saying.

Close-ish! We camped on a large human-made object clearly-visible from the aerials. And I really need the peak IDs to give full credit.

L-R: Granite (or Pacifico), Round Top, Waterman, Twin Peaks

Post by **Sean** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 12:19 pm

Not Pacifico. It's Granite, Roundtop, Waterman and Twin. Large object? Okay, so you slept on that tank and then walked down the road to take the photo?

Post by **dima** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:09 pm

Yep. Pacifico is the clear peak to look for here, but it's not visible behind the Granite-Round Top ridge.

And we did camp on a water tank, but not the one near your pin (I didn't even realize there was one there). We camped on the one at 4000ft, on the saddle between Fox creek and Fall creek.

Okay, I see it now. You were a few miles down the road, 200 feet lower in elevation. How is that road, by the way? Is it clear most of the way?

Post by **dima** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 2:22 pm

Once it becomes a maintained road again (after climbing out of Big T, to the towers) it's clear the whole way. Below 4000ft it's sandy, so a bit of a pain to ride it, but walking would be no problem. I'll do a quick TR in a bit.

Here's a reminder of Muku Reynolds, a friend who died tragically in Zion.

P1030169.JPG

Seven years ago this month a group of us climbed this peak where Muku is standing. Name the summit we're on, the nearby peak to the right, the range in the distance, the location of our base camp, and how many liters of water I carried.

That doesn't look like the San Gabes or if it is I need to find it. Looks like you're on Irvine facing Lone Pine Peak on the right and the White Mountains are in the background. I would assume that you were just Meysan around.

3 liters?

Close enough. I think it was 2.5. I traveled light with just a small Camelbak for bikers.

Next peak over Mallory?

Post by **Sean** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:19 pm

Yep, Mallory. Your turn.

Post by **HikeUp** » Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:48 pm

Name the peak on the right. Name the spot the pic is taken from (be specific).

Yes Iron. But Wright is wrong, but close.

From the Pine Mountain ridge that drops to Mine Gulch (vs. the one toe that drops to Fish Fork / San Gabriel confluence).

We have a winner!

We parked our car at a small turnout just before the entrance to Guffy.

Wild View Peak

The ridge in the foreground is Pine Mountain Ridge (I think the Sierra Club "Peak" by that name is off to the right). Wild View Peak is off to the left of the pic and beyond the ridge you can see.

This one might be easy to ID the peak but the real trick is to identify the peak the pic is taken from...

First is the "wide" view. The peak to ID is off in the distance between the trees left of center. The peak I am on is ???

Here is a zoom on the distant peak...
