OK then. This one should be easy, but I'm still not entirely sure.

Not my photo. From here. A few weeks ago somebody took this image of the snowy peaks from the city somewhere:

What were they looking at?

Actually wait, that one isn't hard. Maybe this is what I was thinking of. Harder.

Snowy thing in the middle is probably Mendenhall. behind it is that long E-W ridge with Magic Mountain on it?

What? Really? Turns out the view from S Hawkins, Copter and Ross is somewhat similar. And you were looking at Fish Fork AND Iron Fork. This was my second guess, and I already posted a photo. Rico, want to do one?
