Jack and Crater Mtns are two more examples of climb-worthy overthrusts.
What is with this $6 million to "remove" the old wood roads in the WildSkyWilderness? Mother Nature will do it for free in less than one generation.
I move that the 6mil be split equitably among the NWHikers group --- call it a 'finders fee'.
Maybe the road could be converted into a pack animal trail. That would save money and allow for a broader user group. We could divide up the remaining 5 million among the rest of us.
Mike, thanks for the insight as well as "There, surrounded by fantastic folds of phyllite... " I stand corrected. However, the prose were put together from a combination of many trips on Three Fingers, to include what I believe to be huge granite slabs off the beaten path in the area of Salish Peak (I know it intimately perhaps better than most) but then I am really no geologist, just a simple man with a flare to write mountain prose while trying to take mountain photos with good composition. Although I have stood atop many peaks, I am no peak bagger in the sense of putting my name on it, I am a "wild" bagger if one could put a name on it I guess. The photo from the South Peak was just one I captured that seem to fit the verse I wrote that day of the area...that which Pappy alluded to.

McPilchuck... Granite does indeed intrude on the east side of Three Fingers and is probably the same formation as where the Squire Creek/Boulder River divide and Salish Peak is. Have you been up Bullon? That is on my hit list for the future.
