As promised, more pictures.
Do keep in mind that cameras are AWFUL at taking pictures of mountains. Looking at these shots, you'd get the impression that the scene is dominated by the ground....but, in person....with the mountains stretching across the horizon from left to right....
It looks MUCH better than pictures can say.
First, my wife's drive to work (all of the 5 minutes it takes):
It's mostly downhill from our house, so you can see the river and mountains the whole way, basically.
Next....from the top of Pilot Butte. Looking....North:
