What's got Golden Ears? It's the area encompassing Golden Ears, Edge Peak and Blanshard Peak (Blanshard Needle) was originally called The Golden Eyries, and the name was corrupted to Golden Ears. The similarity of the 1,716 m (5,630 ft) peak with the double summit to ears led people to believe that this mountain had the name Golden Ears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Ears_(peaks) In the 1930s or 1940s the government of the day renamed the entire area to Mount Blanshard, and gave Edge Peak its name, named the southernmost summit Blanshard Peak, and conferred the official name Golden Ears to the 1,716 m (5,630 ft) peak with the twin summit.
I live on the other side of this bridge.
Ah well. Until tomorrow....
