So is that Rosalie in the middle? Snow covered? What's to the left, and is that Mt Evans on the right? The pointed one? If the one in the middle is Rosalie, is there a road that traverses it?
Can anybody help? Thanks! An update from our Facebook page:
Last week, I asked about the name of a mountain. Here is a picture of that elusive mountain; this was taken from Conestoga and Derringer Roads in Bailey, but it can also be seen easily from Deer Creek Elementary School, and "behind" Smokey when traveling northbound on 285 at the Roland Valley Curve. I would also like to know if it is possible to hike there. Does this help in identifying it? Thank you again for your help.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Not sure SC, could be the hills near Staunton State Park, whenever it finally opens there are going to be trails for hiking. Staunton is the only public lands near the area you are describing. Pike NF is further back near Harris Park.

There is no road over Mount Rosalie. Along the front, Tanglewood Trail traverses the saddle between Rosalie and Rosedale Peak, starts going down past Roosevelt Lake and joins the Bear Track Lake trail down by the upper Bear Track Lake. The easiest way to get to the top of Rosalie is via the Mount Evans road, over Epaulet Mountain and then up Rosalie. Rosalie is very flat on top once you get there and you don't have a sense of being high.
The mountain in your picture here is called Meridian Hill. I hiked to the summit on August 20, 2011. I can see this mountain from my deck. Coordinates Map Datum NAD83: N 39 deg 33,384' W 105 deg 29.190'
