Guess the spot: Utah Edition

Did AAA pay for the entire tow? Usually they won't come off the paved roads. In face, I once had AAA and they wouldn't even come to Silverton.

With an Alamo rental car you are not supposed to be there. We had to pay for it this was back in 2004 and they charged $330 which, regarding they he had to travel, we thought was a bargain. keep guessing, here is another one.

Bingo, @rockspipper you got it. you are up!
We just came down the Burr Trail, after about 1 km/0,6 of a mile, there is a tank under the road where the water collects. We were told that every year a couple of people are caught in that mud, so beware everybody when you go there when it has rained!
Take into account that our rescuer came all the way from Loa, so he had to drive via Torrey, Boulder mountain, Long Canyon and the Burr Trail switchbacks + all the way back, i think $330 was very reasonable.
 
You probably would be charged two or three times that these days. :) But don't forget, you're not stuck until you go for help.

In honor of the coming solstice, this sunrise photo was taken a day or so before the solstice a few winters ago while camping. What is the mountain on the right?
