I have a pretty good idea where this mountain is located, but I do not know what it is called. So I’ll keep the location a bit vague, except to say that we got there by driving south from Ullapool, Scotland, then cutting west toward Torridon and eventually Applecross, on the coast looking westward toward the Isle of Skye. The route passes through all kinds of beautiful country — coastal bays, long valleys, lochs, tall peaks.
We came upon this scene a good distance into the drive. It feared a lovely loch with, somewhat unusual for here, many shoreline trees. Rising above the opposite shoreline was a tall and rocky ridge, some of whose faces reminded me of the sorts of features I find in the Yosemite high country. And rising about that ridge was an even higher ridge, topped by a dramatic peak that still held a recent dusting of new snow.
