Looks "taller" than some of the Uintas

Less laid back than others I have seen.

Re: Looks "taller" than some of the Uintas

The Uintahs struck me as a place to observe expansive landscapes, not the individual peaks themselves (which often aren't that inspiring). Henrys Fork Peak from the angle shown (from the ESE) was the sharpest profile I saw on the trip. Even so, there's still a walk-up route on the south side.



What I like about this shot is the snowfields on the lower terrace of the mountain hint at faces (faces with their left sides in shadow).
