Brooks Lake Cliffs

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Absaroka Range, Wyoming; Dawn-- July 1998

The clifftops are actually about 1900' above the lake, but the cliffs themselves rise from a bench not visible here and have a true rise of around 1000'.

Mount Sublette is the peak on the left end of the cliffs. It is on the Continental Divide.

No sense of scale...

Voted 10/10

It's impossible to get a sense of scale in photos like this--what's the vertical rise of those cliffs? (Nice photo, by the way!)
