Looks like you near Craner Pk...Stansbury Island? That seems too tall

On Stansbury Island is correct, so it's yours! This is down low on the west side of the island, looking out to Timpie Valley in the Stansbury Range.

Awww. I was looking the wrong way. Nice I've never been out onto Stansbury before but have seen it from the Craner area.

It's definitely worthwhile when there aren't any biting gnats and there aren't dozens of people shooting down low. Unfortunately, my last trip there had both of those features. I like shooting as much as the next guy, but listening to gunfire the entire hike while swatting at gnats 75% of the time was not pleasant. Haha.
 
Yeah i agree thats not a great way to spend time in nature

Ok lets try out this spot

Not to mention the vast amount of spent shells, and garbage they don't pick up. Bums me out.

I've only hiked on Stansbury Island once and it was very nice except that a couple of times a buzzing, tumbling bullet passed overhead or nearby, I suppose after glancing off a rock in a target area nearby.

Seriously. I've only gone shooting there once, and I hauled out more garbage and casings than I brought in. Honestly should've brought several more trash bags. People are terrible, and they don't stop to consider that they may lose the privilege of shooting there if they don't clean up after themselves.

Wow!! Understandable you haven't been back. That's absolutely insane. I think I'll try to get farther out on the north part of the island next time I'm there just so I don't have to hear incessant gunfire and worry about stray bullets.
 
I'd guess you are on Stansbury Island looking out towards Antelope Island?
 
Oops, never mind, not sure how I missed the last 20 messages... lol

Got it! West end of Black Mountain, southern slope. You can see the same exposed sediments above and left of Torrey's head in this photo looking north from Mary's Nipple/Molly's Nipple/Musinia Peak (or in this sat image).

That looks like Grover or Teasdale down below. So maybe Thousand Lake Mountain in the distance on the right.

Edit: but it also looks like you may be above Torrey looking out to Boulder Mountain. I think that one seems more likely. So that's my final answer. I thought that may have been the Ant Hill on the right, but I think it's too small actually.

Yessir. It's just north of Torrey, on the rim of Holt Draw, looking south-ish toward Boulder Mountain.
