Late afternoon from Henry Jackson... Does anyone know if this cinder cone has a name? I can't figure it out from the topo maps I have. But then I'm not positive I found the right feature on the map either...

Tripod, etc
I lost a lot of separation between the trees and the first layer of mountains when I converted to jpeg. :frown:

Hi Curtis, Interesting shot for sure and the B&W treatment works well here. If you are referring to the Henry Jackson Visitor Center looking SW in Mount Rainier Nat. Park then this would be Tum Tum Peak.

Thanks for the ID Rick. Welcome Back!!! :wavey:

Must be a popular name for cinder cones... There is a very similar feature near the North Fork Lewis River called Tum Tum Mountain. When I was a little kid, we'd be driving up Hwy 503, and Dad would say, "There's ol' Tum Tum" and he'd get a giggle out of me.

Curtis, this is a fantastic b&w. The layers interpreted beautifully.

I love the trees in this Curtis. They look superimposed they are so crisp.

Yep, great shot Curtis. Great choice for a B&W.

Super Curtis, If scrounging for a nit, I wish I could see the streaks in the mid-sky a little better :jump: :jump:

Yep, Tum Tum Peak is correct. FWIW, its not a cinder cone though. Its an eroded exposure of the Ohanapecosh formation - one of the largest andesite flows in the state I believe - that originated from Rainier's long-gone relative. I've always liked that angle, the layering of the valley never disappoints.
