I figured the snow would throw you off, but then again, the name "Mauna Kea" actually means "white mountain".

[Ptah]

[Xipe Totec]

16. It is Popocatépetl

One of the two largest volcanos in Mexico, visible from Mexico City.

Popoca = smoking, Tepetl = mountain.

To get to the lake, you pass through the Valley of a Thousand Falls.

But good guess.

This mountain is formed very differently from Devil's Tower, and is a classic geomorphology example of a very low angle thrust fault.

48. The Winged Rock

Pines and cholla
grow through this dark
stone ocean. Navajos say
it is a great pool
of dried blood
from a dangerous giant
beheaded by Twin Brothers.
The black rock draws
sun into its blood,
lava heaving for miles,
cholla and pines
feeding on that old feud.
& off in the rippling distance
how cool those shoulders
that have forgotten
in the snow.
