Researcher-supplied information: this image is backwards. Heart Mountain viewed from the camp should slope in the opposite direction. Also, tall sign near truck has letters "H I J", for that segment of the alphabet, and they appear as "U H" in reversed view. (The original print made by the FSA is printed backwards. The error is not from later duplication.)
