Oh Wow! Fantastic shot. I've been wondering what was at the bottom of that hill. Now I know. Thank you.

I enjoyed your picture, too! Thanks for posting. (BTW, what do the native tribes call it? I should think they know "better". But, those who've called it Lion's Head apparently haven't spent much time with lions. ;-)

Thank you Gil, Andras and Janey1098!

Janey I wish I knew what the natives called it, it would really be good to know! I have no doubt it is a much more appropriate and lyrical name.

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
