Just south of the Big "E" is a little higher hill with radio antennas on it.  From the top of this hill you can see Spring Creek, Pleasant Valley and Lamoille.

The Ruby Mountains are the mountains across the valley

A closer look of the Ruby Mountains.  The large canyon in the left center of the range shown is Lamoille Canyon.  In this canyon there is a side canyon known as Thomas Canyon.  Check-out Howard Hickson's link below about the Big "E" and see what this canyon has to do with the Big "E"
