Interesting, the faulting is really complex around BHR, but looking at the faults as mapped it looks like BHR is in a Horst bounded by the two NE trending normal faults, and cut off on the NE end by the normal fault mapped in red, with also looks like it is down on the NE side. Like the bow of a sunken ship sticking out of the water?
I guess I'd be surprised if there isn't at least a little obliquity/strike-slip on the NW-SE fault(s), by analogy with those in the northern Tobacco Roots. That would contribute to the "ship's bow" popping up, I think.

Great read and the photos are lovely. Thank you for the time you put into these fascinating articles.
Thanks!
Love your regional surface tours. We take a break there each time returning home by that route.
Thanks! I had passed it many times before climbing up to the top in 2018.
Nice views. Reminded me of Bald Knob in S. Illinois. The Mississippi didnt meander quite like that river, but it had serenity.
