The mountain with the snow-filled cross couloir was located and photographed by William Henry Jackson of the 1873 Hayden Expedition. Jackson's photo images and the paintings of expedition member, Thomas Moran, established its place in the art and culture of the West. Day trips are recommended to protect fragile areas of this popular 14er from overnight camping.
