Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[Udink]

Yep, Fish Lake it is! I wasn't sure whether anyone would get it from this angle, but a view of the lake to the right of that photo would have been pretty easy.

I wasn't sure whether anyone would get it from this angle

At my wife's family reunions, they used to rappel off that small cliff, so I've seen it from that angle.


Hint: This should be easy, but I won’t tell you why it should be easy.

Wouldn't it be Holmes on Right?

Go ahead and post Dennis.

now wait a minute. dont i get to tell you if its been guessed correctly? and it is on the road into the maze from hite. andy miller flats. looking back to the west towards mt holmes and mt. ellsworth.

I know that place, but I'll let someone else have this one. PS, out of those two distant mountains near the center of the photo, what's the name of the one on the right?

thought you might appreciate it. so, you see i didn't have to cheat much.

Colorado River, Pyramid Butte

Colorado River, Pyramid Butte

Yes. It was taken last weekend from above Horse Bottom. The mini-trip report is posted below:

This could be tough - unless, of course, you've been here.

[Felicia]

I have no idea, but the boardwalk and viewing hut would indicate a bog or marsh area.

[fouristhenewone]

the matheson preserve boardwalk area outside of moab?

You got it, the viewing blind in the wetlands preserve.
Your turn.

Woot!


My Turn

[ibenick]

Is that the road coming out of Hidden Splendor?

[fouristhenewone]

nope - but in that general area.

Little Wildhorse Road heading East. Pic taken further west of LWH.

[ratagonia]

I'm thinking, off I-70, the road heading south toward the top of the Moroni Slope...?? But Little Wildhorse Road sounds like a good guess too.

[denaliguide]

i'm with the little wildhorse road looking north.

Although... I'm more thinking it is looking south, little wild horse mesa on the left. Tom

[asdf]

wrong wrong wrong, I was there.

figured Dennis would nail this one instantly

My first though was Little Flat Top, heading west out of the San Rafael Desert. But I checked my photos and that's not it. It's definitely not along the Little Wild Horse road because the Summerville layers are much higher up along the entire length of that road between GV and the LWHC parking lot (it's all Entrada Sandstone down at the level of the road). So, I'm going to have to go with the Green River Cutoff Road, where it passes near the highest point of the Woodside Anticline. There's really not a name for this specific location, but it's about halfway between El Rancho Not So Grande and US-6.

Edit: The more I think about this, the more I'm sure of my guess. Check out pages 11 and 15 of Desert Magazine from June 1951 for photos of the same formation: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2403358/19...zine-1951-June

I've done some exploring around there and have even been up on the southern flank of that butte on an old mining road.
