Name that peak! Visual Trivia.

I don't even know which bump is the peak. It's in the Gabes?

I think its the peak in the background, my guess is this pic is taken coming up South Fork next to the Punchbowl.

Would that make it Will Thrall? I meant Williamson.

Williamson would be on the same side of the canyon as the trail and not viewable.

Unambiguously the Gabes. Unfortunately guessing at the wrong canyon.

I'm going to guess Markham and San Gabriel from somewhere along or near the Idlehour Trail.

Think something approximately 1,846 feet taller than San Gabriel.

Okay, but I still don't recognize the angle.

Lytle Creek a lil south of telegraph?

On the traverse trail between Allison Mine and the saddle. Close to Allison Mine.

Dima for the win! Your turn. The peak is (maybe-not-so) obviously Big Iron and hi Taco.

"hi Taco" is definitely my favorite peak in the entire range.

I'm in the middle of 5 things right now, so... Walker, you're nominated!

Okay, I'm game. Thanks!
Here are two, just for fun.
Location number one:

Location number two:

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 7:37 am

One kinda' looks like Mount Lowe and two looks like either that crappy downclimb to Rattlesnake or San Antonio Ridge.

Peak 5,058 (I was also there) and NW ridge to Williamson. Pass to Sean.

Post by **dima** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:49 pm

Where's 5058?

I think you meant the NE ridge. Dima, do a search for peak 5058.

Here are a couple slightly easier ones for those who haven't guessed correctly yet.

#1
Hint: This peak is within a six-mile radius of Baldy. Bonus: Where am I standing?

P1070279.JPG

#2
Hint: There are two peaks visible in the distance. Bonus: Where am I standing?

Dang, nailed it! - but NE ridge. ?

Post by **dima** » Fri Jan 24, 2020 11:37 am

We're looking at 5058 from the North? That's Little Bear Canyon in front of it?

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 8:21 am

I'll take a stab Sean.

#1 - Mt. Lewis from the Manzanita Trail
#2 - Timber and Big Horn from Telegraphs' east ridge

Post by **Sean** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:53 pm

Nope, I guess we can open it up to anyone, since there aren't many of us guessing.

How about Dawson from the Fish Fork Trail and Burnham, Baden-Powell from Ross.

Post by **dima** » Mon Jan 27, 2020 12:35 pm

Baden-Powell is bald, as seen from Ross...

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Mon Jan 27, 2020 3:13 pm

As well would I be as seen from Ross. Or anywhere else in the San Gabriels.

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Mon Jan 27, 2020 3:40 pm

I'll second Ross...but I think Copter Ridge
The first one looks like Icehouse....so looking at the topo, Sugarloaf?

David R · Post by **David R** » Mon Jan 27, 2020 3:45 pm

#2 is Sadie Hawkins and South Hawkins probably from Middle Hawkins, dunno about #1 thought Pine but the ridge line and incline is all wrong.

Copter Ridge is right. That's where I'm standing in #2, looking north with Hawkins in the distance and Throop barely visible on the right edge. You have the right canyon for #1 so I'll give it to you: it's actually Timber from below Cedar Glen.

Your turn, AW!

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 3:02 pm

OK, lets go difficult then...the one in the background left is named. The 2 in the foreground are not. And this view is from close to the ACH. The background one is in SBNF admin of the ANF...and maybe you can notice down bottom center there is a major road
