That thing LOOKS like a castle

Voted 10/10

in every sense of the word, and I had not
realized (until now) that it has three summits.

Zee, your amazing ability to communicate beta
in a way that aspires us really kills me !!!

	Hasn't voted	Thank you Larry. There's actually 5 summits on the ridge with over 200' of prominence. There's an easy one off to the right/south, and a hard one off to the left/north. I think the 3 northernmost ones are most commonly thought of as Red Castle and are labeled as such on the map, but Scott calls the one on the right in the picture, the highest one, Red Castle.

	Voted 10/10	Yes, Scott's an amazing resource as far as northern Utah and the Colorado Plateau goes. Your shot of Red Castle could almost pass as an ocean shot - just imagine Red Castle Lake being part of an inland sea lapping against the sides of Red Castle. Do you hear the waves crashing along its sides ???

All your pictures of the Uinta mountains make it hard to believe that its in Utah. Thanks for sharing

	Hasn't voted	Thanks, what I like about Utah is that it is so varied. The Uintas look completely different from the Wasatch.
