That’s Mt Duval all right, the shape of that mountain is so distinctive you can’t miss it. I don’t know about you, but I have always used it as the first sign that home is near, with all the excitement that brings to a tired traveller.
Hi Chris. You can imagine my surprise at being able to see Mt. Duval from Mary’s View – that’s quite a hike.
