haha, thanks! Well then, back by popular demand:

Good job AW, though I guess eaton was too easy. This one is also en-route to a canyon, but somewhat more obscure...

Nope, cold. (unless you were talking to AW... I have no idea where his pics are!)

Big Tujunga: Condor peak ..I suspect the view is from an approach to Mary Jane canyon.

Pretty damn close! Good job living up to your title, canyon man! It is indeed Condor Peak, but it was taken while on the "Maxon Route" to Suicide Canyon. (thanks matt... you're famous!)

Its funny that you mention Mary Jane though, considering the picture was actually taken from the abandoned weed farm on the approach to Suicide!

AW your 2 views looking east look totally different!

Yes.

Ze, inital post I meant to say looking east from the spot that the picture was taken of the west side of the mountain....in that case the view east is the intial ridgeline being developed to go towards the west ridge of Twin Peaks.
