  Name Origin

  "In the planning stages of our trip, 'Kitti-King Mtn' was considered as a name, since these county names are on the USGS map at this spot (and it's next to the Katwalk). Then, as we viewed it from the trail in, we called it 'Bushyhead,' since it appears as a wood-tufted blob. But from the top of Thomson, this summit looks to wear a talus collar around its unshaven head, so 'Collar Mountain' became the last thought." -John Roper, http://howbert.com/cgi-bin/rep...
