Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[Glenn]

Nice photo for Post #2000.

I'm guessing Colorado...facing south maybe?

[Sun Dance]

Nope.

[Sun Dance]

But it does face south.

[Sun Dance]

OK hint. It's pretty accessible from major population centers.

[Byron]

My God...can it get any more obscure than this? Dude, that could be anywhere!

But I'll take a wild guess...the hill just outside Victorville, Ca. that overlooks the landfill.

[Sun Dance]

Nope. I thought the Wasatch Front boys would have jumped all over this one.

[Sun Dance]

Alright. This is the same place, 180

[Bootboy]

Post #2000 isn't showing up in mobile. But based on pic 2, is it mahogany flat below Timp?

[Glenn]

I think that's Big Baldy in the first photo and you were on a spur trail just west of Timpooneke Road.

Couldn't have guessed without the Wasatch hint.

[Bootboy]

Grove creek trail?

Battle creek?

[Sun Dance]

I'm giving it to Glenn. It's not Mahogany Flat but it is below Timp. It's also not on the Battle Creek or Grove Creek trails. It is Big Baldy and it is a spur trail just west of Timpooneke Road, although this scenario could also be seen from Mahogany Flat, just not at quite the same angle. Because Glenn's answer was more correct, I'm giving it to him.

This is actually on the Indian trail on Chris Fisher Flat BETWEEN Grove Creek and Battle Creek, just west of Timpooneke Road.

[Glenn]

Okay, here's another video offering. What is the name of the trail in this video clip?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS-t5ImVWhc

[Bootboy]

Need a hint

[Bo_Beck]

Red Canyon?

[Glenn]

Not Red Canyon.

Hint: This video starts facing west. (I'll give more-specific hints as we go along.)

I'll be trekking through Nevada, Utah, and Arizona over the next few days, so I may not get back here right away.

[oldno7]

looks like the lower end of Bryce

[Glenn]

Yes, it's in Bryce. Just gotta name the trail (it does have a name).

[oldno7]

under the rim trail/off Rainbow point.

[oldno7]

Did you stay at the coral hollow campsite?

Rigg's Spring trail.

[Glenn]

Not Under The Rim trail. Not Rigg's Spring trail.

Further north.

[Glenn]

Here's another photo taken on the same trail just a couple days ago, almost exactly a year after the video above was taken. This was just after sunrise.
70804

[Glenn]

Y'all need another hint? It connects with three other trails in Bryce.

[Glenn]

I'm genuinely surprised that no one's guessed this. Need another hint?

[Glenn]

Last hint: Actual sign on the trail. I blocked out the full name...

[Glenn]

Queens Garden Trail.

Not QGT, but it connects to it via a spur.

[Bo_Beck]

Peek-a-Boo Loop?

[Glenn]

Peek-a-Boo Loop?

Not Peek-a-Boo Loop either. But, it also connects to PaB!

[Canyonlight]

Tropic Trail

[Glenn]

@Canyonlight (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=17755) got it! :nod: You're Up!

71281

The Tropic Trail is about 1.6 miles long and connects with Peek-a-Boo, then the bottom of Navajo Loop via a short spur. You can actually enter the park for free on the eastern border via the ladder at the gate.
71282

[Glenn]

Canyonlight doesn't have any photos to post, so I'll get this going again. Name the peak in the center of this photo.
71436

[Sandstone Addiction]

Would that be Kolob Peak?

[oldno7]

Looks more like Black Mountain to me.

If it is--at one time, it was going to be developed as a ski area.

[Glenn]

Not Kolub Peak. Not Black Mountain. But in Utah and visible from Zion NP.

[Glenn]

So, would this technically be a natural bridge? Looks like it's over a small river.

[Glenn]

I think it's because you used Tapatalk to upload the pic. Could be reducing the size by default.

Clue: The creek is not dirty.

I think Scott should take this one; it's Clear Creek Natural Bridge in Wyoming. He knew it last week! :2thumbs:

[Sandstone Addiction]

Sorry Kurt, more than 50 miles from Hite.

Nuther clue--the sandstone in the background is all Navajo.

[Scott P]

My guess is that it's somewhere in Glen Canyon, pre-Lake Powell. Would it be somewhere around Crossing of the Fathers or the turnoff to Rainbow Bridge (i.e. Forbidding Canyon)?

[oldno7]

Paiute Farms area on the San Juan.

[Sandstone Addiction]

My guess is that it's somewhere in Glen Canyon, pre-Lake Powell. Would it be somewhere around Crossing of the Fathers or the turnoff to Rainbow Bridge (i.e. Forbidding Canyon)?

Correct Scott P , at least the first part.

I'm pretty sure this is the actual Crossing of the Fathers or at least was taken very close by.

I have been digitizing my parent's slides of when they were living in Glen Canyon City (Bigwater now) in the early 60's and came across a bunch of fascinating pics like these. Here are a few more of the area:

Here is a wider view of the same spot. As near as I can tell, the bluffs in the distance are the gravel bars in Padre Bay. Gunsight Butte on the right.

Correct Scott.

My mom an dad took this picture, as near as I can tell, about 1960. They were just tourists though, my dad didn't work on this dam.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone with the highway clue. Kurt caught me off guard and I quickly replied that it wasn't a highway when in fact the highway would go across the dam when it was finished.

Here is a pic looking upstream.

71879

[Scott P]

OK, last one I'll post for a while. Hint: It is not in Utah (and has nothing to do with Utah), but this photo is similar to a famous historical one taken in 1898 (though at a different time of year). The photo pertains to a fairly famous event in history. The event occurred between 1896 and 1899.

It's definitely not Monument Valley. In the vicinity of the towers in Monument Valley, there isn't that much Navajo sandstone visible (the mesa in the background has a distinct layer of Navajo sandstone on top).

I know I've seen the formation in the photo; I just can't remember which one it is.
