took me a bit, because of the angle, to figure out what mountain that was; although the color should have given it away. Looking NNW at Yellow Mountain.
summitpost.org: Yellow Mountain is an obscure and remote peak located in the extreme northeast corner of Glacier National Park. It is, as one would expect, comprised of yellow rock, which makes the peak easy to pick out from vantage points along the eastern front. However, those that have traversed Yellow Mountain's winding ridges will be the first to tell you that this area features a kaleidoscope of colored rocks. Magnificent formations of red, grey, black, green and white rock can be found littered across its many loose slopes.
Due to the sedimentary nature of the rock in Glacier National Park, unique rock grading systems have been established by both Gordon Edwards and the Glacier Mountaineering Society.
