Stunning how some of the ancient names sound Japanese ! Thousand years ago asiatic tribes crossed Behring Detroit... Have they the same ancestors ?
The light is beautiful on this superb landscape...

Waskahigan Watchi, so much more attractive sounding than Rundle (even if it just means house).

Quite the majestic peak, and well captured in that light.

House Mountain is a much more appealing name. The mountain is striking as is your stunning shot. V
