Geo 365: August 18, Day 230: The View South

(Size options)
(Size options) This is the view to the south from the perimeter walkway up the Sand Mountain watch tower. Unlabeled is the fenced "landing" where the old trail reaches the crater rim, and the crater itself. They ask that you stay on marked trails up here, to protect the delicate environment. In larger sizes, you can see the carefully placed, lighter-colored stones to mark the trail. As indicated by the question mark, I'm not positive that "The Husband" is correctly labeled- though if it's not, I'm not sure which peak it is. It was clearly visible on our visit. Not to be confusing or anything, but the upper line points to the Lower McKenzie Valley, and the lower line points to the upper valley.

Followup: In the comments, Anne Jefferson says, "I think you've got the husband labeled correctly. And the peak to the west of it is Scott Mountain."

    Thanks for the help. I was *pretty sure that was The Husband, but despite being told by the guy manning the watchtower, I had forgotten the name of Scott Mountain.
