Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[Sandstone Addiction]

Name the place this photo was taken...

[oldno7]

Hite

[oldno7]

maybe on the other side, just after the turnout for the view area.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Nope, not Hite.

Hint--the woman on the left is my mother, who will be 83 on Monday and the woman on the right is her mother.

Wasn't on the North wash side?

[Sandstone Addiction]

Sorry Kurt, more than 50 miles from Hite.

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

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)?

Paiute Farms area on the San Juan.

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.





I can't remember the name of the prominent butte in the center, I don't have my Kelsey book handy at the moment...





My favorite place to water ski...

[oldno7]

WOW, Dave--outstanding piece of history!!!!

[oldno7]

last picture with the car I'm quite certain is warm cr.

This should be easy. I hope no one asks for another clue. Almost everyone knows the background, but where is the photo taken from?

[oldno7]

3-gossips?

[oldno7]

whoops--changing that to the top of Bighorn Canyon.

Yes, hopefully the clue in the photo didn't make it too easy.

[oldno7]

Yes, hopefully the clue in the photo didn't make it too easy.

It helped,

I've only done it once, seems like that was enough....
