You're rignt, about 3040 feet.

Here's the real news... I got up at 1:30 to pee pee and looked out the window and the mountain was up in flames. Apparently there was a fire somehwere that got out of control and now they've had a huge fire storm that was pretty spectacular to watch. I used my 12 x binoculars and you could see flames going up a few hundred feet in the air. I'm a few miles away and the fire covered a third of the mountain. Glad we got to go up there because now I imagine it will be closed for awhile.
