Here it Is!

I had to scan in a page from a scrapbook to get this picture - this was well before I went digital! This is Pilot Peak in Yellowstone. It supposedly got its name because pilots used its distinctive shape as a landmark in the old days. I read in the guidebook that it looks somewhat similar to the Matterhorn in Switzerland. I don't know whether either fact is true, but this remains my favorite mountain :)

It is at the beginning of an abso-frickin-lutely beautiful drive called the Beartooth Highway. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Nice picture. It looks like this Alps moutains in Switzerland or in France. You're right.
It seems to be a nice place

Beautiful Ash. I have my own experience with Beartooth Highway. It is one I will never forget.

Perfect part of the country and a good choice for a favorite mountain.

Absolutely beautiful Ash, which month of the year was this shot as it sure looks like winter is slowly fading away.
