Guess the spot: Maps Edition

[Jammer]

I'll go ahead since I had a visual confirmation on the map. Here's Lava Part II:

WOW -- that was hard! But... I finally took your hint of using Google and tracked it down:

Malpais Wilderness in NM.

You got it! Beautiful country I might add. I'll try to dig out some pics and post them.

HINT: I *think* it's the largest lava field in Utah (not covered with vegetation anyway.)

Name this Peak/Prominence in the center that is amazingly eye-catching from I-70. And for extra credit describe the access road and ascent direction. I've had it on my to-climb list for many years.

Mary's Nipple (or, Musinia Peak)! I hiked it in October 2010--after seeing it so many times from I-70, I also decided I just had to hike it.

Next up:

Good job, Dennis! How did you access it? From Skyline Drive? How long did it take to get up it?

Yep, I went up Twelvemile Canyon from Mayfield then south on Skyline Drive (here's my GPS track). Total round-trip hiking time was 3.5 hours, and that included a break at the top and a little exploration of the small plateau on top.

Great GPS track and photolog Dennis. I will be climbing it this year. Have you ever driven up to that point on the Skyline from I70? I wonder if it is technically difficult or slow going. I have driven the northern two thirds of the road all the way to SR6 and found it easy.

I've only been about a mile up that road from I-70, and at least that part was well-maintained. I'm not sure what condition it's in beyond that.

Hint: the feature in the bottom-right is an abandoned meander.

And a cool looking slot....

Buttes of the Cross near the White Rim Trail

Yep, you got it! I may be heading there for a trip next month...just gotta deal with the NPS red tape first.

That would be an awesome trip. I have wanted to check out the White Rim, just never have done it.

 

[Udink]

That'd be Pete's Hole, west of Joe's Valley.

Hint: this is in northeastern Utah.

Found it...Ouray National Wildlife Refuge.

Yep! Along the Green, roughly south of Vernal.
