Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[denaliguide]

cirque of the towers?

cirque of the towers?

No, but you're really close.

HomerJ,

It's Lost Temple Spire and East Temple Peak from Deep Lake. Temple Peak is visible far right.

Scott, I thought for sure you would get the current pic. I know you've been there.

It would be cheating though since I was just there. On all the photos, I'll only answer after someone else has a chance to guess first.

I have one. Hint: A nice arch in a certain Southern Utah national park. Name the arch.

The background should be an excellent clue.

(PS, after Friday I'm working long hours and can only log in early morning or late evening, so won't be able to check this thread often). I'm headed off to climb a mountain Friday afternoon, so if you really know the answer, just post it and move on to the next photo.

Yep, that's it! Good job!!

No guesses?

The offroaders may be able to help on this one.

Hint 1: The rock formation in the background right is a famous landmark because it marks a very rough section of a famous 4X4 route.

Hint 2: The arch is officially named on the USGS maps.

Once you figure out the rock formation, it should be fairly easy (since you can just look at the maps and see which arches are in the vicinity of the rock formation).

elephant arch or double arch. Somthing in Arches NP?

[JONBOYLEMON]

Ojo arch??

[Scott P]

elephant arch or double arch.

Somthing in Arches NP?

No. I guess that leaves only one more choice of national parks (think of the park in Utah with rough 4wd roads).

Ojo arch??

No. Ojo Arch isn't in a National Park.

Identifying the formation in the background (click on the full size photo) will be the easiest way to pinpoint the arch.

The formation in the background marks one of the more notorious sections of 4wd road in this national park (and since we ruled Arches out, guessing the park should be easy). I'm willing to bet that several Bogley members have done this 4wd road (it's probably my favorite 4wd route).

druid arch?

[Scott P]

druid arch?

Nope.

[ststephen]

Oh, that's teapot rock and therefore the start of the land of standing rocks road. Looking at my topo...is it Cave Arch?

[fourtycal]

I recognized teapot rock right away but had a heck of a time finding the arch. Is it Whitmore arch?

[Scott P]

Is it Whitmore arch?

Yes. I knew some people would recognize Teapot Rock eventually.

[fourtycal]

Somewhere along Skyline Drive

On the way to Joes Valley

[Udink]

Seely Creek Guard Station. Looks like the buildings have gotten new roofs in the last year or so.

Yes They are doing some major remodeling to the cabin and outbuildings as well as building a new outhouse.

Alrighty, here's a new one:

Hint: Somewhere along the Green River...

Hint: Somewhere along the Green River...

Is it northeast (I think) of the city? It looks similar to the beach near Nerfititi (rock formation).
