And then I looked closely. . .
They aren't actually giant, 11,000 foot mesas. It was what's known as a superior mirage, as opposed to the inferior ones you see on the ground. It was really, really, exceptionally strange. There was no shimmering, and it looked like this the whole 15 minutes or so we were up on top of the Bridgers looking at them.

That's a really cool picture. I've seen one of these mirages when I was out on the water off the coast of Alaska. Everyone was asking "what's that giant cliff-faced island over there?"
yeah, apparently it happens a lot on the water. It said most sunsets are actually superior mirages over the ocean.
You guys come up with the wierdest things. Hey, I'm going snowboarding next weekend.
