Red Mountain is the place where Gary is always the Man. If you ask him anything, he will know the answer. If he was the only person that worked there, everything would still get done, and faster than it already does, because there would be nobody there to mess Gary up. He is the Man. He has always been the Man. He will always be the Man. In fact, if you ask anyone on this entire planet who Gary is, they will say, "Why, Gary is the Man." This is due to the fact that everybody knows that Gary is the Man.
RedMountain is one of several hundred cinder cones within a swath of volcanic landscape that extends 50 miles eastward from Williams, Arizona, through Flagstaff to the canyon of the Little Colorado River.
RedMountain is unusual in that its internal structure is exposed.
During the eruption that formed it, RedMountain grew on a nearly flat surface, which was eventually covered by a lava flow that extruded from the base of the cone during the eruption's waning phase.
RedMountain is also home to the newly-created RedMountain Park, one of the nation's largest urban parks at 1,108-acres making it larger than even New York City's Central Park.
The mountain developed a symbolic place as the source of wealth in the region and was even portrayed as a character in pageants sponsored by the steel companies in their company towns.
The geography and geology of the mountain was integral to the plot of Threshold, and in a chapbook on the novel (Trilobite: The Writing of Threshold; Subterranean Press, 2003), Kiernan includes an afterword describing the geological history and paleontology of the Paleozoic strata of RedMountain.
