The Big Snowy mountains are an island range with the highest point at 
8,681'.  The peak isn't much of a peak since it's a long, fairly flat

worm-like marine fossils. There obviously had been some changes.

I remember a TV play in the '70s where a glacier was working tis way into 
a suburban neighborhood.
