peak namesI think Blackfoot is the icy peak right of Split Mountain, with Clyde Peak being the low, dark peak in front of Blackfoot. Mount Logan is next in line then snowy Jackson.

Re: peak namesI think you're right. One thing throwing me was the "pointy" perspective of Jackson as seen from this angle. So then the mountain to the left of Blackfoot would be Walton? (Maybe Thompson?) Any ideas on what is behind, and very slightly right, of Amphitheater?
Thanks for your help!!!

Re: peak namesVery slightly right of Amphitheather is Medicine Owl Peak 8284' and Walton would be behind Blackfoot. So I believe the one left of Blackfoot would be Point 8846' then left of that is Mount Thompson 8527'.

Re: peak namesGood points! Medicine Owl is barely visible, at the end of the ridge running out from the bottom foreground. I think you're right: Walton is not visible from this perspective, and is indeed behind Blackfoot. So...I guess Mount Thompson (which for some reason you never hear of) it is! But I still can't place the kind of roundish peak directly behind, and very slightly right of, Amphitheater.
Thanks!

Re: peak namesThe one behind Amphitheater is probably Peak 8579, which is between Norris Mountain and Red Eagle Pass. The map shows it having lower summits to the south towards the Nyack valley.
