While you're pondering TK's riddle, what am I looking at here?

I didn't cheat, but you might want to check the filenames before posting

Close. I had to do quite a bit of map fiddling to make sure, but Josephine is hiding!
L to R: Strawberry, Lawlor (behind, right of Strawberry), Condor (midground), Lukens. The unofficially named 'Fox' Peak is just visible over Condor's shoulder (between Lawlor and Condor). View is from Iron Mountain Saddle on Mendenhall Ridge.

Ok, so my first pic was just a test to see if anyone was paying attention.
I've taken the training wheels off (I think) so y'all can't cheat.
Where am I and what am I looking at?

Since you don't upload pictures, David, I suggest describing a peak in 700 words or less.

Yep it has a very distinct escarpment with the old road going up it. Impressive construction to get to a mine.

Here's an easy one for those of you who haven't guessed any correctly.
Name the peak in the picture and name the peak I'm standing on.
