| The Oquirrh Mountains Below is a description of the photograph you were looking for, and the circumstances surrounding the photo. Photographer: Klaus Haring Technical: Olympus D545 Zoom Technical: Olympus D545 Zoom Caption: Flat Top at right and Lowe Peak at left Story: I had never heard of this range before I saw it on my way to Desret Pk, approaching the turn off to Grantsville. It didn't have a name on my road map and no peaks named or elevations given. But with the snow on the peaks I figured it must be well over 1000' high. It looked more impressive than in the picture and when I stopped to take this photo I didn't even realize that I could see my goal, Desret Pk in the other direction. A bit later I got a crude tourist map of Tooele County of which it forms the eastern boarder. In the text Lewiston Pk 10411' is listed as the highest, but the map shows Lowe Pk. 10598' higher. Flat Top is not mentioned at all. The town of Tooele is just visible below Lowe Pk. To see the actual photo you must be a Paid Member |
