Looking up Little Willow Canyon toward the granite willow formation.
The willow formation that separates Little Willow from Big Willow.
The highest point visible is actually the rocks on the right,
which are just above the meadow after Draper Ridge.
I took some pictures from the other side, on the way up to Lone
Peak.
A view from a plane of the Willow canyons on Lone Peak.
The willow formation is in the middle right of the picture.
Big Willow Cirque is visible in the top middle. Lone Peak Cirque is just right and
above it.
The Question Mark Wall is clearly visible below and to the right of
the summit wall.
Below and to the right of the Question Mark Wall,
are the rocks mentioned in the blurb above.
The Guardian climbing wall (Granite slab on the left)
The low point in the frost covered trees is the trail to Big Willow
Cirque.
Looking north to Heughs Canyon in Mount
Olympus.
The route to Mount Olympus summit is semi-visible, this is a sideview
of it.
It follows the diagonal line (with the trees) towards the top right.
Mount Olympus Summit 9,026'. You
can see the route from the saddle to the summit.
It's the chute to the left of the summit,
then turns right, then up, then up the spine to the summit.
The Hounds Tooth
Behind is Hobbs Knob on Wildcat Ridge,
on the same ridge as Olympus.

The ridge between the two Deaf Smith Canyons that go up to Twin
Peaks.
Looking west toward the Oquirrh Mountains.
Barney's Peak 8,242'
West Mountain 9,068' and Clipper Peak 9,207' above the Kennecott
Copper Mine.
Or maybe this is Markham Peak 8,702' and Freeman Peak 8,627'.
The Oquirrh Mountains
Lowe Peak 10,589', Tooele Peak 10,386', and Butterfield Peaks 9,370'.
From 1-15 near Provo, looking west toward Lewiston Peak 10411' (smaller
peak on the far left),
Flat Top Mountain 10,620' (Tallest in the Oquirrh Mountains) and Lowe
Peak 10,589'
This picture is from the page Wasatch

Flat Top Mountain 10,620' the tallest of the Oquirrh Mountains
Hey Dale and friends! I've enjoyed looking at your website for many years now. You do an awesome job of showing off our spectacular scenery. I've especially enjoyed your pictures and information on the Oquirrhs. For some reason I've always loved these over worked and under appreciated mountains and the often overlooked beauty which they still have inspite of the abuse they have received. I have to agree with Mike. This is the only site with decent information on the Oquirrhs. I also love the Wasatch and am amazed at how they've recovered from the almost total deforestation they experienced a century ago. I just have one question about the picture above that says "West Mountain 9,068' and Clipper Peak 9,207' above the Kennecott Copper Mine" is that really a picture of those 2 peaks? Anyway,...Many thanks for your excellent work!
