jacko1 - Oct, 16 2009 02:10am I thought for a second that I was looking at another of Fred's Highland pic's Jill. aufgehts - Oct, 16 2009 08:10am Tony, it does look like the Highland's, doesn't it? Only even higher! horourke - Oct, 16 2009 06:10pm 12,000 are a lot of feet. How high is the mountain in the picture- There seems to be a lot of vegetation?? aufgehts - Oct, 16 2009 06:10pm Hugh, this was not even the highest point of the drive...I'd say we were a bit over 11,000ft here. This was the last of the vegetation for the season...if you look really closely, in the flat area to the left was a herd of elk and a little stream. This area has been covered in snow now for over a week.
