I'm working with an editor on trying to provide as much information about this location as possible. This is just above the largest of the Highland Mary Lakes looking (I think) east/northeast, though I could be wrong. I need help identifying the background peaks. Also, am I correct that this is looking toward the east/northeast?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know, but it sure is beautiful!

Now I'm thinking that this is actually looking roughly south toward the Grenadier Range which is obscured by hills in the FG. The prominent peak looks like the Arrow. Todd, Darren, Jesse...anyone?

You're looking NE towards Green Mountain, which is hiding the view of Stony Pass and Canby Mountain. Check your e-mail in a minute and I'll send you a Google Earth snapshot.

Thanks, Todd! So, is this the 2nd HM Lake or the 3rd? I initially thought it was the 2nd but if I'm looking NE it's got to be the 3rd lake, I think. And, is that prominent peak Green Mountain?

... and that's the first lake the trail touches, hiking uphill.

They call me the Human Topo.
Alas, I wish they called me the Human Tripod.
