Fusillade Mountain, Montana, USA

Fusillade Mountain, in Glacier National Park, displays nicely the thick sedimentary rock sections that crop out throughout the northern Rockies. Steep though it is, the mountain's other side is even more cliffy and forbidding.
Fusillade Mountain is supposedly named for an episode from the pioneer days when a hunter couldn't hit the animal he was shooting at and had to carry out a one-man bombardment before bagging his game. Maybe the wind is tricky around this sharp-topped peak. But my guess is that its rugged sides return multiple echoes, making a single gunshot sound like a whole platoon. The appeal of that explanation is that anyone can confirm it with their own gun, rather than accepting an "urban legend" of some guy who couldn't shoot straight.
