Mount Stuart at last light (8301)-20130831_ILO8301.jpg
Camping under that last light of Mount Stuart. "Mount Stuart is the second highest non-volcanic peak in the state, after Bonanza Peak and tenth-highest overall. Mount Stuart is more notable for its local relief than for its absolute elevation. For example, the south face rises 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in just 2 horizontal miles (3.2 km). The northeast and northwest sides of the mountain exhibit similar steep relief. Due to its location away from higher peaks, Mount Stuart has a topographic prominence of 5,354 feet (1,632 m), making it the sixth most prominent in the state. The rock of Mount Stuart is rugged due to the extensive jointing of the granite. The north slopes of the mountain shelter three glaciers, including Stuart, Ice Cliff and Sherpa Glaciers from west to east." (elevation 9,415 ft, prominence 5,354 ft) -- Wikipedia
