Can anyone identify these mountains/ this area?

[kangar00jack]

These are photos from my sister's Outward Bound Trip somewhere in Colorado in July of 2000. She said she doesn't remember exactly where the trip took place, but that it may have been near Aspen. She was just a kid at the time. I'm just curious if anyone can identify the mountains or the area from the photos. She is joining me for a backpacking trip to Snowmass Lake in August. We plan to spend a few nights camping and also summit Snowmass. It will be her 8th 14er and hopefully my finisher. I'd like to surprise her with an answer to where she was all those years ago. Any help is much appreciated!

Pic 1 is of Capitol (left) and Snowmass (right), and it seems to have been taken from near the summit of Treasury Mtn, above Crystal.

In pic 2, I recognize Mt Crested Butte in the background in the middle. I don’t know for certain, but my guess is it was taken from somewhere in the Ruby Mountains to the west of Crested Butte.

Unfortunately, I do not recognize any of the terrain in pic 3. I’d think it’d be around the Crested Butte or Marble area.

I hope this helps!

The third one might be Scarp Ridge (in the background) from one of the peaks around Oh-Be-Joyful Pass but I'm not sure on this one.

Looks like the second picture is from the top of 12803 (south of Treasure Mtn).

First picture is taken from the east shoulder of Treasure Mtn, at about 39.0192, -107.1142.

Yes, they're all taken from the Crested Butte zone. pic 1 is well identified above.

Pic 2 is from what locals call the Blob (12803 ID'd above). The mountains to the west of Purple are known as Little AK, and from Purple they're informally named Ant, Blob, then Nipple. Looking at the summits in the photo from the left, you have Gothic, then Snodgrass (below treeline), Crested Butte mountain, Mineral point, Augusta, and Whetstone off the distance.

pic 3 is from Scarp's ridge somewhere, and It's hard to tell but it's probably Afley in the foreground.

The air in the photos looks as gross and smoky as it's been this summer.

Third picture is about at the summit of Treasure Mtn looking SW.

Marcellina is in the right-of-center background (summit out of the photo), 12665 is on the far left (summit barely out of the photo), and an unnamed ridge is the focal point, left of center.

I kept looking for the unnamed ridge debris field pattern, but surprisingly it was Marcellina's forest patterns that led me to the vicinity, then the unnamed ridge that led me to the match.

Thanks, Mitchman98 for honing in on the right area!

Wow thank you to everyone who replied. I knew I'd get answers but you all went above and beyond. This site and community are the best. Can't wait to share this info with my sister.
