I'm not sure why Mount Gordon Lyon doesn't get as much attention as its neighbor just across the (alpine) saddle, Rendezvous Peak. Mount Gordon Lyon is arguably even more picturesque, with a simultaneously lush and craggy facade that looks straight out of Lord of the Rings.

The white buildings you may spot on a neighboring peak are part of the Cold War-era Nike air-defense missile site. You can take a tour there with this group nikesitesummit.net but don't try to go there on your own, because it is military land and you could get a very expensive fine for trespassing.
