About this place
From atop Beacon Hill one can look south along the John Long Mountains to the jagged peaks of the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness. To the north, the eyes meet the rugged ridges of the Garnet Range, where the line of sight follows a prominent ridge leading away to form the Chamberlain Mountain complex at the northernmost prow of the range.
