Arriving in Desolation Sound, the only explicable reason as to why anyone, looking at these luxurious towering hills, would call them that, is that maybe they wanted to be left alone, making sure nobody would be tempted to go a place with such a name.

Your observation about the name remembers me this story.

In 1970 Hunter S. Thompson ran as sheriff in Aspen.

One of the points of his very good program, along with car removal, was
"Change the name 'Aspen,' by public referendum, to 'Fat City.' This would prevent greedheads, land-rapers and other human jackals from capitalizing on the name 'Aspen' ... These swine should be fucked, broken, and driven across the land."

Alas he didn't win :sadness:

From Wikimedia Commons. Election poster promoting Hunter S. Thompson's 1970 run for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado. The symbol of a two-thumbed fist with a peyote button represented the so-called "Freak Power" movement, Thompson's self-proclaimed base of support. Thompson wrote about his campaign in the article "The Battle of Aspen", published in Rolling Stone magazine no. 67 (October 1, 1970).

@neauoire Reminds me of Mt Disappointment, a mountain about an hour north of Melbourne (Australia). The colonialist explorers who had named the mountain, Hume and Hovell, named it after trying to scale it to see the Port Phillip Bay from the summit, only to be blocked by dense tree growth.
