Guess the spot: Maps Edition

[Rockskipper]

I'm going to assume I got it right and post a new one.

Name the trail. This is a well-known trail that many of you have probably hiked. If you told someone you were hiking it, they would guess you were in a different state. It's in a national park.

Alaska Basin trail from Teton Cyn TH. Nice one!

Name the pass.

I found it based on some text you might want to erase in the upper left corner.

Woops, my bad. Name the connection between your spot and mine, and the next one's all yours.

Well, both require hiking, as well as plenty of Snickers bars.

And both are part of the CDT.

Did I win anything?

You win the opportunity to pick the next spot

The CDT actually doesn't go thru the Tetons - instead through the Absarokas and into SE Yellowstone. I've ranted about that at length here.

I was going for Georgia Pass in Colorado - just as incongruous as an Alaska Basin in Wyoming

I never thought about it that way, since we have so many Texans in Colorado.

Great post/rant. You were attacked by a bear? More on this, please, if you feel so inclined. Your list was great, BTW:

Backpackers seen: 5 (excluding National Parks)
Bears seen: 7
Backpackers attacked by: 0
Bears attacked by: 1

Next spot: I picked this because I like the colors and topo lines, no other reason. It's in a national park. More hints if needed, but you guys should find this one really easy, especially if your name is @scatman. And yes, Caltopo has the name twice.

Texas Pass? That's in Wyoming!

I just discovered that post before you posted it here. Wow, quite an experience. Very glad you survived.

I was over in Teton NP a couple of days ago and had a big blackie follow me almost all the way around Moose Lake. It came within 20 feet at one point, but wasn't acting predatory, but rather like just another hiker. It came to a trail down to the lake and veered off.

Looks like Hellroaring Mountain.

 

[Rockskipper]

Bingo! You're up.

Identify the area.

Somewhere in the Land of the Midnight Sun?

Wyoming Hills in Denali NP.

Keeping with the theme of hills.

Wildcat Hills in Nebraska - whoops, too slow.
