Which peak is the highest and where does the Mt. Major trail go?

Mt Major is the "rock toppped" mountain, closest to Rte 11. Directly behind it is a flat topped mountain that is not as rocky looking, and that is Straightback mountain.
If you climb up Mt Major, you can go off the back side down the mountain, and you will come to a fork in the trail (a trail coming in from the right) and take that trail up to Straightback.
