1. What peak?

Did you climb it? I see a trail.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I wish I could tell you! I probably was told the name when we were there, but it's gone.

I am far from a mountain climber, alas! I'm sorry that I have no information on this beauty.

5. JUST in case, a favorite:

6. It looks like

the North Face of the Matterhorn??????????

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. This is not the Matterhorn, though you're right--it does look like it.

[DENVERPOPS]

12. It really does look like the matterhorn

especially that barren 100% vertical face on the top left which could be the "eiger".......

Is there someone out there who knows and could weigh in and educate us all.......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I sure wish there were someone who could tell us, my dear DENVERPOPS! ♥

16. It

It is hard to tell from the angle of your picture. It definitely isn't the Eiger, K2, or Annapurna..........

The Matterhorn is known for the most climbing fatalities of any other mountain, although the above mentioned ones, along with Everest have their fair share of deaths.......

Here in Colorado, if the East Face of Longs Peak was 10K higher, it would be nearly as bad as some of those........

Italian side would be more green right?

18. Awesome pic. Would look at also in 90F+ weather. A few seconds of cool down! 👍

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thanks so much, my dear electric_blue68! It was chilly when we were there, and it was summer! ♥

22. I'd guess it might be because you're some what surrounded...

... by snow. And your elevation is quite high!

I got to see the Alps (!) a shade or two close to barely when I was vacationing (by invitation) with my relatives in the quite Western section of the French Speaking part of Switzerland. They were about 60 miles west of The Alps.
Look across the gorgeous valley countryside full or farms, pastures, grapevines (!), villages, and towns.💖

When we were driving I could see them in the distance. Took photos from the car. At different tim of day, or season might b easier to see them.
But see them, I did! 💖🥰
