That's Waucoma Ridge in line with Mt. Hood. To the right is Wooley Horn Ridge with Tomlike Mt. behind it - you can pick out the rocky summit of Tomlike in the center on the horizon.

Thanks Don. I wasn't sure if that peak was part of the Wooley Horn Ridge, or if it was possibly GreenPoint Mtn or Tomlike Mtn.

You mentioned that you can see Tomlike Mtn off in the distance. Which peak are you referring to?

On the right in your second photo is Wooley Horn Ridge in the foreground and Tomlike is the forested hill in the background that slopes slightly to the left. Centered in the middle of that, barely visible on the horizon you can see some of the summit rocks of Tomlike. Also, Chinidere can be seen to the right of Tomlike in your first photo and Indian Mountain is to the right of that hidden behind the fir tree. (Though most of Indian Mountain is hidden behind the ridgeline that runs north from Chinidere and connects to the Benson Plateau.)

Excellent, thanks so much Don!!. Being fairly new to Oregon I am still having fun trying to identify all the landmarks.
