Excellent photo James! That is a very interesting formation. I took one a couple of days ago that was also pretty strange. It looks like a con trail that has looped around on itself, but it isn't. On the high resolution version, you can actually see the turbulence where the cloud trails cross. It must have been a very odd wind sheer to generate such a form. The highest peak is Mount Timpanogos.
Cheers,

Here it is a few minutes later. The whole thing essentially became a cloud tube. I've never seen anything like it.
