Looking more westerly from near the summit of Mt. Howard (reached by the tram). Either The Matterhorn or Sacajawea Peak is the highest point in the range; the USGS Joseph 7.5' quad (1990 ed) shows Sacajawea Peak as slightly taller, but apparently other surveys disagree! Sacajawea Peak, of course, is named for the Native American woman who accompanied the Lewis & Clark expedition as a guide and interpreter. She is the only real historical woman, other than Susan B. Anthony, to appear on a circulating U.S. coin. Eagle Cap, the centerpiece of the eponymous wilderness area, is also outlined. The prominent canyon below the ridge with The Matterhorn and Sacajawea Peak holds the West Fork of the Wallowa River. Again, it's wuhl-OW-uh, "ow" as in "town."
