I didn't look closely before, but I think you're right Kelly. I had assumed that Patrick's picture was of the east slope of Timp and that he was flying over Sanpete Valley, but the shadows are wrong. Here's a nice pic of Timp's west slope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Timpanogos_at_sunset.jpg and here's another of the east slope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mt_Timpanogos_s2000.jpg. Patrick, there is indeed a metal structure (aluminum, as I recall) at the summit. It is an open frame with a pyramidal roof, solidly guyed to the rock. I have no idea who put it there or why.

But (and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong) that mountain looks a lot more like Mt. Nebo than Timp. Here's a link to a picture of Nebo on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Nebo_from_Y_Mtn.jpg That said, Mt. Nebo would be an even better spot for the scope since it is the highest peak in the Wasatch range. ~Kelly
