Peruvian Andes
The look of it makes me think Peru somewhere
It is in Peru, you can have it if you can name the Incan ruins seen up on the mountain. They are part of a much larger complex of ruins that are just out of sight.Quote:

That's the one. Nice work
This one should be fairly obvious, but I think a lot of people have missed it. Attachment 45636
Almost a week and no takers?
Looks like my grandparents house in Richmond, well other than the forest!
I wasn't going to guess because I was out of town and wouldn't be able to upload a picture if I won. but since no one seems to take I'd say the old cabin in the forest above farmington.
if that's not it then my second guess would be old cabin above browse utah?
Wrong and wrong. Different mountain range. You can win this one by naming the nearby engineering feature.Quote:

Just in case I'm right, someone else please take a turn, I will be gone for awhile....
Still off. Too far north. I knew this one would be tough even though it's obvious. Y'all are probably looking at the other side of the road when you go by it.

getting closer.
unscamble these letters and you'll know where it is. across from the cdeeehlnnnstuu (2 words)
That's by the road to Spring Creek Canyon where the Duchesne Tunnel comes out, right?
WINNER! It's across the Mirror Lake Highway from the Duchesne Tunnel.Quote:

No guess, huh.
Okay, here's a hint. It's along a trail that sees a large volume of long distance backpackers.
I am sorry to haven't answered on this thread after posting a picture, my wife had suddenly to go to the hospital, then I went in Utah for a trip mostly in the wilderness for almost 5 weeks, and back to France I had forgotten the thread.Quote:

Gotta be the Pacific Crest Trail. You don't get flowers that look like that in Utah.
Yep. Just below the PCT in the Oregon Cascades, south side of Mount Jefferson. Camped along it on accident a couple of nights. Didn't even realize I was on the PCT until all the through hikers started dropping by. Old trip report from 2005: http://backcountrypost.com/?p=463Quote:

You're up.
I feel bad with such a generic answer. BUT, I guess I'll put a new spot up.

Not in Utah, but not that far away either....
No guesses and it's been up overnight. I'll put another hint up. The location shown in the following picture is less than 10 miles from the spot. It also happens to be north of Utah.
