Wheeler/Simpson?

It's hard to tell in this photo. It appears that Wheeler Peak is out of the photo to the left. Wheeler Peak can be identified from the tops of neighboring high peaks (like Lake Fork, Kachina or Gold Hill). If you had aimed your camera toward Wheeler, Simpson Peak (and/or Old Mike Peak) would be identifiable.

Take a look at this photo.

That is Bighorn Peak

Voted 10/10

That is Bighorn Peak in the background, probably taken from Pt. 12,807. Pt. 12,807 is a subpoint of Lake Fork Peak that you would have traversed over in route to Bighorn from Lake Fork Peak.

If I remember correctly, this photo was taken from the summit of Bighorn Peak looking east/northeast. This peak is Pt. 12,728 which is between Bighorn and Simpson Peaks. I think getting up and down this peak will be the most difficult portion of a loop hike from Kachina to Wheeler. These photos from Simpson Peak help to put things into perspective.

	Voted 10/10	I am 99.99% sure that is Bighorn. I looked at my pictures from my Lake Fork Peak climb and the photo I took of Bighorn is almost identical to this one. The only difference is a slight difference in angle. I'll email you the pic.
