I will be posting some photos from som national parks or monuments. Guess which one. Bonus points for anyone whom can name specific places. PS, be honest. If you are one of the people I've already shown any of the photos too, please let someone else answer.

Here is the first national park or monument to identify.

Clue: This area has many 2000+ foot cliffs, some of which are viewed in the below photos. There are many canyons 2000 feet deep here. This place has many more pine trees than many other national parks or monuments in Utah, but also lot's of desert. Some of the canyons have some very deep keeper potholes.

Where is it?

Well, I'm tempted to guess Zion, but it sounds too easy. Trick question?

Trick question?
About as tricky as a previous "guess where these pictures were taken" that Scott posted. Sorry, I cheated to find out where they were taken, so I'll keep my mouth shut. :mrgreen:

No trick question. The clues are all correct and all the photos were taken in a national park or monument in Utah.

So far we have one answer for Zion. Anyone agree or disagree?

I'd have to say Zion as well, but im only 90% sure.

So far we have two answers for Zion. Anyone else agree or disagree?

I have to go, but I'll verify this afternoon when I get back.

I dont think it looks quite like Zion, but I cant think of where else it would be.

The bryce-man probably knows his stuff. I'm gonna go with him.

And the correct answer is Dinosaur National Monument. I don't blame anyone for guessing Zion. I took these June 3rd in Dinosaur NM, and was thinking "man this place looks just like Zion".
