Before the Henry mountains were known as the Henry's, they were known as the "Unknown Mountains" and for a good reason. The Henry Mountains were the last range in the contiguous United States to be discovered. It was John Wesley Powell on his 1869 expedition of the Colorado river who named the mountains after Joseph Henry, a close friend who was secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Our Burt Brothers quiz question tonight is...Can you name the five peaks that make up the Henry Mountain Range?
