OK, I should have done this check before sending my last e-mail. Here's
Dakota Hill:
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.86917&lon=-105.55306

Looks like it's in Roosevelt National Forest, and it also looks like there's a
Jeep trail that goes right over the top of it. I think this Jeep trail just
made it on to our to-do list

If you switch to a large map you can see more of the surrounding area,
including Utah Hill and Oregon Hill. (I couldn't figure out how to get a
link that set it to a large map, or I would have posted that instead.)

Interesting to note that at 10,900 feet these only qualify as hills and not as
mountains :-).

There are also a couple of Dakota Mines if we thought we wanted to check those
out as well.
