Guessing either Silver or Highland?

Nope but that's a pretty good guess because that area has similar looking geology. I like that area, one of the least visited areas of the Sierra up there on the Little Walker.oldranger wrote:Ok Dave

Well done Tom. Did you notice The Dardenelle at far right that will_jrob got right? Note the rest of his answer was way off. There are more named peaks in the frame of this July 30, 2011 image. I began figuring out what peaks I was looking at as a twentysomething when I more often tended to climb to the top of peaks then spent a whole lot more time than 95% of peakbaggers tend to do surveying features in views while my topo was unfolded. Well at least if it wasn't too breezy. One can use a straightedge on a map with a bit of trigonmetry, and figure out what peaks are in images. And often about where images were captured from. A useful talent for a photographer looking at other's work. In this case it is not an easy location to climb up to. The key thing is to first find two identifiable features at different distances in an image frame, then follow a line through both on a topo. Once the location an image was taken at is known, trig comes into play calculating what features are visible above or not visible below middle distance elements.TehipiteTom wrote:Hiram Peak?
