Interesting piney mtn. Was a bit perplexed by the geology Is this a slate mtn. in a volcanic area or a volcanic mtn in a slate area? I think slate is compressed and cooked shale- I've seen slate on the Chimney Tops in Tennessee(on SP too)
I didn't see any slate on the mountain so I think it is a misnomer. I am still waiting for inter-library loan delivery of a geology master's thesis on Slate Mtn - I hope it will resolve this issue and give more background on the age of the volcanic event that produced the mtn.

Untitled CommentDecent page so far. You may want to add some photos from the actual trail, or photos from the summit if you got them.

Untitled CommentLooks interesting...
I live in Flag and didn't even know about this place...
I'll be summiting soon, I hope.
Thanks.
