It's beautiful! for a lake....

Not a lake. Look beyond, oh mountain man.

 

[Artemus]

Nice. I keep wanting to see Temple Peak but it is all crooked and stuff... So maybe that little unnamed most-often ice covered lake under the north face. BTW, thanks for putting some mountain features in for me.

Nope, but you're in the right part of that range.

Oh...is it that arrowhead lake on the way up to Jackass pass towards the Cirque? (I might have some of the names wrong there...)

Closer, but no.

I am not sure of the name of the peaks... Pylon or Watch Tower or the back of Sharks Nose?

However.... for once, I know this place! I ate dinner in the little patch of dirt and grass left of center.

This is the view the opposite direction:

Yes!! It's the little tarn at the base of the Cirque of the Towers. You're up!

 

[Ugly]

It is a lovely turquoise tarn... probably the best water in the Cirque.
Let me grab something to post.

I was going to stay with a tarn, but I feel a return to the desert...
It might be easy, but perhaps not.
How about this.

Goblin valley?

 

[Artemus]

Cathedral Valley?

 

[Artemus]

Monument Valley?

 

[Glasterpiece]

Yes!! It's the little tarn at the base of the Cirque of the Towers. You're up!

But where? Wind Rivers?

 

[Nick]

Correct. Right here: https://mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4....9&z=16&t=t4&markers=||42.767809,-109.222662^^

 

[Glasterpiece]

Reminds me of Cathedral Valley but that is taken. SD Badlands?

 

[Glasterpiece]

Correct. Right here: https://mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4....9&z=16&t=t4&markers=||42.767809,-109.222662^^

Thank you. My experience there is only around the Green River Lakes area.

 

[Ugly]

Sorry, I shouldn't have posted this while working... dang customers came for a visit.

Cathedral Valley?

Yes, it is in Cathedral Valley... they do not have a name on the map, but I have heard them called the "Lesser Temples". The Temple of the Sun and Moon are right behind me.
I knew it was easy, even when I cropped out the ridge line behind them.

The Big Sandy has much easier access and is well worth some time.
