Nice view over the local landscape toward the south Mission Mountains. This time you get a view of Mount Calowahcan to the left (north of), McDonald Peak and West Mcdonald Peak, Kahashe and St Mary Peak?
Mount Calowahcan has three very distinct summits. The north summit is the highest at 9,061 feet. The prominent south summit is shown as 8,881 feet and the much smaller middle summit is also about 8,880. The peak has undergone several name changes. Prior to 1922, it was apparently known as Mount Teton or Teton Peak. In 1922 it was named Mount Harding after President Harding. Then in 1991 the name was officially changed to Calowahcan after a prominent local family. According to the USGS, the English translation of Calowahcan is "Beaverhead".
