Any Guesses on this mountain. I will post a obvious view when the correct answer is out.




A BACK VEIW

 

[piper]

pilot peak

 

[mightyhunter]

too easy

 

[nfh]

That's right. Most local people don't know the mountain..

 

[mightyhunter]

Been there

 

[mightyhunter]

Here is an easy one.

 

[nfh]

Not sure mighty hunter. reminds me of One hunt drainage area in a way

 

[mightyhunter]

Looks like One Hunt from the north but it is Trout Peak from the Dead Indian side.

 

[nfh]

This is close to One hunt. very similar looking.

 

[mightyhunter]

I have only been to One Hunt from the south following the trail behind Dike Mountain. It is Trout Peak, I hiked to it last year from the East. How about this one?

 

[nfh]

Cant say I know that one, I don't go into a lot of Lake Areas..

 

[mightyhunter]

ThHat is a lake obviously but the area has few lakes in it. Over 11,500 ft high.

 

[nfh]

Is it close to sulfur creek?

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
yep

 

[nfh]

ok, is this cabin here at the base of the trail?

In 2011 I was searching for mountain goats. Stopped to check out Lee City here.

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
yep again

LAST EDITED ON Apr-13-13 AT 09:27AM (MST)[p]Copper Lake is my guess. I started up the trail and started hitting the switch backs. The trail hasn't been maintained. A tree fell across the trail and I thought I could duck it but I didn't duck enough and off the horse I went with my foot stuck in the stirrup. Thank goodness for a good horse that just stood there. So we turned around and took off to another trail. Spent the day glassing a band of Rams at this mountain.

Stopped at the intersection of the one hunt trail and Blackbird Creek.



While glassing the band of rams on that mountain it was also breakfast time


My favorite breakfast in the hills

[mightyhunter]

Stinkingwater Peak behind Copper Lake. I hike up there at least once every summer. The trail is straight up. Breakfast looked good. Here is another on for you.

 

[nfh]

stumped me again. looks like some great sheep country.

I assume you are local?

 

[mightyhunter]

One Hunt from the west almost in Yellowstone heading to the Upper Miller pack station. A long hike for an old fat man. I have lived in Clark for 13 years. Some from Cody might not consider that local.

 

[nfh]

ok I see it now, to the right of the picture would be blackbird drainage. That is a long ride/hike even for a youngster.

 

[mightyhunter]

If you have hunted sheep in Unit 1 you have been there. I always say when I am in this spot I am not going down there into that drainage.

 

[sageadvice]

A most awesome thread guys!! Please continue!!

Thanks NFH and Mightyhunter. This has been a breath of fresh air.

[nfh]

I know I have a simliar picture. Still looking

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
It is in the south end of Sheep Unit 1. I can't post another until you get this one.

[nfh]

sorry mightyhunter no name. I do have some pictures but they are printed out. most my posting here is with a phone.

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
Looking towards Geers Point in the upper portions of Little Sulphur Creek.
mh

 

[mightyhunter]

Here is another one. This should be easier.

 

[nfh]

I'm nameless

 

[mightyhunter]

Green Mountain behind Wapiti.

[nfh]

>Green Mountain behind Wapiti.
>mh


Hardpan is a name I always use

 

[nfh]

looks like Hardpan but that would put me on the wrong side of the road

 

[mightyhunter]

I should have posted this picture and you would have got Hardpan for sure.

 

[nfh]

One of my favorite views.

 

[TOPGUN]

Is that some country or what!!! Keep em coming!

 

[nfh]

Not much of a mountain to name. A Trail I love to take that never gets old. You can see some elk. Behind the hill there is another 250+ head.

 

[mightyhunter]

This is a tough one from this picture. A little wildlife in this image.

 

[nfh]

That's a tough one. but I am going to throw out a guess of Pat-o-hara based on the white rocks

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
You got it. Northwest part.
Was your spot somewhere on Whit Creek?
mh

 

[nfh]

Its up in the sunlight country. Those elk are coming off the trail.

 

[mightyhunter]

Here is an easy one. The wind really blows here.


I have tried to day hike to this place without success.

 

[nfh]

Great looking country. Nothing looks familiar to me

 

[mightyhunter]

Hurricane Mesa

 

[TOPGUN]

I like that holster in the last picture. What are you carrying for grizz protection? Please keep the photos coming as this is a very refreshing thread!!!

 

[nfh]

>Hurricane Mesa


I never been up there. I did a lot of glassing in that draw in 2011 when I had my mountain goat tag.

 

[nfh]

This one might be tough.

 

[mightyhunter]

Topgun,
The pistol is an old Ruger Redhawk .41 magnum with 250 gn handloads. Bear bullets from Riverton, Wy. I actually killed a black bear with this pistol in North Idaho many years ago. The holster was made here in Clark by Von Ringler. It is known as a Combination Holster. You can wear it over your shoulder or around your waist. He has a website under Ringler Leather. He has lots of cool stuff. He and my neighbor, Shirley, are real craftsman and do all the leather work themselves.

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
I am trying to figure out your picture with the crags, cliffs and avalanche chute. There are places like that in the Upper Sunlight Creek and also around Crandall and the Cathedral Cliffs. It looks like some areas North of the North Fork of the Shoshone including Grinnell Ck. How about a hint?
mh

 

[nfh]

You nailed on Grinnell

 

[mightyhunter]

nfh,
Have you ever seen any Griz up Grinnell Creek. I have.
mh

 

[mightyhunter]

How about this mountain from the North side.

 

[nfh]

Everytime I go in I see grizz. I have had to draw on a big ol sow. She kept following me.

 

[nfh]

I am pretty sure you are on the dead indian trail right above the ranger house . I was going to post a very similiar picture

 

[nfh]

Could it be the same? but mine is from another angle

 

[mightyhunter]

Elkhorn

 

[mightyhunter]

Not a mountain, but still an interesting spot. Watch your step here.

 

[nfh]

The creek on the left is throwing me off. my first guess is the big bridge up in the sunlight basin highway

 

[mightyhunter]

Confluence of Sunlight Creek (falls), Dead Indian Creek and the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River.
