- Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Gerald R. Molen, and starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough. It is the first installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, and the first film in the original Jurassic Park trilogy, and is based on Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel of the same name, with a screenplay by Crichton and David Koepp. The film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, off Central America’s Pacific Coast near Costa Rica, where a wealthy businessman John Hammond (Attenborough), and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park’s power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors, including Hammond’s grandchildren, struggle to survive and escape the now perilous island.
- Foggy Peak (summitpost.org)
Foggy Peak is a mountain located just 1.5 miles northeast of the old ghost town of Monte Cristo. While not particularly prominent (750’), its steep summit block makes it look fairly impressive, particularly when viewed from the north or south. Foggy Peak does not seem to get many visitors (based on its film canister register), and this may be partially to blame on the lack of route information online. Hopefully this page will help revive a little interest in this very worthy objective.
