Guess the spot

[RyanP]

This photo was taken while climbing what peak?

Thunderbolt?

 

[RyanP]

Thunderbolt?

Yup! I figured if anyone got this, it'd be you

 

[mike_offerman]

Main peak is the pointy one on the right.

Mike, what a wonderful photo. Is this Mt. Olympus in the Olympics in Washington State? The Olympic Mountains are Fabulous! Love it out that way!

If correct, go ahead and post another photo.

 

[mike_offerman]

You are correct! The next photo looks much different, but shares something in common with Mount Olympus.

 

[mike_offerman]

Only a few miles from Yellowstone Lake

Eagle Peak. Both this and Olympus are the highest points in their national parks.

 

[mike_offerman]

Good job!

Where you're standing looks kinda like Hilgard Basin to me but I can't quite place it.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Not Hilgard or any of the Madison Range.

First Hint: South of the Madison Range.

Huh, I guess everyone's out on the trail. Next hint is that it is near the Idaho border.

I'm not! Just rusty. Haha. Must be somewhere in the Tetons then. Is it Fred's Mountain/Grand Targhee area over there?

That's it! You're up.

 

[Jackson]

Crap. Sorry for the delay.


ID the body of water in front of me or the area in the distance. Famous last words, but I do think this one is probably trivially easy for some people here.

Looks like Soda Butte Creek in the foreground with the flanks of Mirror Plateau in the back.
