Similar to the Grand Teton Mountain Range of Wyoming, the Gore Mountain Range is bounded by faults that broke and shifted, pushing the
mountains up while dropping the valleys. Although the rock is similiar to the Idaho Springs Formation of the Front Range, the rugged Gore's
contrasting orogensis makes these mountains look quite different from the glaciated folded anticline that makes up the Front Range. Mountain

palpable. Only went to Lost Lake which was a great view. I think I may add a chapter on these two subsections. Since the peaks are so different
in the north half and south half of the range, it might make sense to divide up the range into an "Eagles Nest Wilderness" and "Northern Gore
