Absaroka Peaks

Two of this special mountain ranges iconic mountains in the distance: Pilot and Index peaks. Pilot has been whittled down to a sharp point.

 

"The Absaroka Range has the distinction of being blanketed with the world's first National Forest. The Shoshone National Forest was established in 1891 due to its corridor proximity to Yellowstone Park. At 2.4 million acres, it is one of the largest on the continent.

 

There are 46 other peaks over 12,000 ft (3,700 m). The range is drained by the Yellowstone River and various tributaries, including the Bighorn River." Wikipedia
