Blue Wing Mountains
The Blue Wing Mountains are located at the north end of the Granite Springs Valley.
Carlson states that the mountains are named because of blue rocks.[1]
To the west of the Blue Wing Mountains is Blue Wing Flat.
On the Blue Wing Mountains is a rock with the name "C. Donnell" and the year 1946 carved in to it. This could be Charlie Donnell who hold the patent for a bucket conveyor.[2]
