Mahogany Mtn.
This close to home peak caught my eye last fall when I saw a bolt of lightning nail the summit. It towers 4000 feet above the citys in the valley but blends into the forground of the higher Mt. Timpanogos. I jumped onto Deans trip, a new climbing partner I found on summitpost.org

Called my friend Jason in the circular development below. He could see us with binoculars. I live just on the other side of the small mountains in the center of the photo.
Here is what Mt. Timpanogos looks like from 9000 feet on top of Mt. Mahogany.
