what's that little bump to the left of Hood?

[Chip Down]

My topic title is ridiculously vague, and my picture below is terrible, but if you live (or spend considerable time ) anywhere in the Portland area, even as far away as Washougal, and if you're even moderately observant, you might look at my picture and say "oh yeah, I know what Chip's asking about, that little notch on the skyline left of Hood, what is that"?

That's Larch Mountain. The visible "lip" is Sherrard Point.

[Chip Down]

Umm, my mind is blown, if that's Larch. It doesn't seem possible. But okay, next time I see it, I'll try to trick my eyes [perhaps polluted by decades of misunderstanding] to see it that way.
Assuming Adam is right, what a fun experience to realize a mystery point that I've wondered about for so many years is actually a place I've stood.

[Bosterson]

It's definitely Larch Mountain. It and Silver Star are probably the two most distinctive and recognizable Gorge features you can see from Portland.

I thought the lip was a tree height difference
