Mount Zion 7,059'
Lookout Mountain road has three convenient named summits which I thought I'd add to my count for the day to total five. Zion was the first and least easy - still less than 300' of gain. The bushwhack approach I took was another "would have been easier" if I did some research other than plotting a GPS point. I saw the trail another fellow was arriving at the summit from once I crested the ridge - whoops. My path was steep from the east up a grassy gully.

Lookout Mountain 7,374'
I knew before that Buffalo Bill's grave was on Lookout Mountain, but I didn't realize it was on the highest ground. The manmade highest ground is shown in the photo on the right about 20 feet to the east of the grave.

Colorow Hill 7,572'
Last but not least, the highest ground of the Colorow Hill Massif is in the backyard of an historic mansion. This zany trip required beer immediately afterwards to set my mind straight.
