Fish Lake Hightop Plateau is turnning Fall. And yep, @DixieFlyer has climbed this one too [ photoset ]
summitpost.org: Fish Lake Hightop is the highest point of Sevier County, Utah. The actual highest point is on a large boulder the size of a house. When approaching from the Sevier valley on US 24, the Fish Lake plateau appears to rise with great relief from its surroundings. It has 4153 feet of prominence, which rates it #14 in Utah. The Fish Lake mountains contain some signs of past volcanic activity.
and how about the mention of Osiris (remember the ghost town I showed a collage of earlier): the Osiris Tuff (dated at 23 million years old) erupted from the Monroe caldera and forms the cliffs and ledges at Fish Lake Hightop.
In addition to recent volcanism and faulting, the surface geology of the Fish Lake area has been modified by glaciation. https://www.friendsofpando.org/the-pand ... -fishlake/
