what I am trying to find out is from your vantage point could you go south, I am wanting to get a shot of yankee boy basin and to be able to see as far down the valley so that my shot will show the most vertical relief, can that be done from hayden?

However, you're looking down into RICHMOND BASIN there, not Yankee Boy. The further south you go, you'll be looking down into IMOGENE BASIN. If you want Yankee Boy in the bottom of the photo, you'd need to be over on Emma Mountain or Gilpin Peak (expect lots of perilous loose rock). Old mining sites will dot your views in any of these vantages. Yankee Boy is pretty high, so the most relief will be of Potosi (13, 700) with Canyon Creek (9,800) far below.
