Lookout
Mountain Summit
As
the Divide Trail climbs along the ridge, the main summit of Lookout
Mountain comes into view. Here, lenticular clouds have formed
over the peak, created where the sheer vertical mass of the mountain
has compressed moving air enough to condense vapor into stationary
clouds. The exposed cliffs along the south side of the summit
ridge show the thin layers of lava that are typical of shield
volcanoes like Lookout Mountain.
