Guess the spot

[mike_offerman]

I didn't know the name of the Butte, had driven through the area last year while visiting Washington State Univ.

Capulin volcano?

Recently mentioned national park backcountry

 

[Rockskipper]

Badlands NP?

 

[deelek]

All yours @Rockskipper

Name the two big mountains in the distance AND the peak the photo was taken from, as well as the bigger lake in the valley. Or any one of these will work. My brother took this photo with an old film camera.

 

[Rockskipper]

I'm going to be gone for awhile, so will post the answer: there are actually three big peaks - Mt. Wilson, El Diente, and Wilson Peak. The larger lake is Trout Lake and the photo was taken from Golden Horn, above Ice Lakes.

Someone post a new spot.

@Ben @Cuberant @Nick @Artemus @Wanderlust073 @Scott Chandler Anyone??

 

[Rockskipper]

OK, since no one has posted, here's an easy one - name the TOWN this was taken from:

 

[Kishenehn]

Looks like Alta, Wyoming ... though a bit of a stretch calling it a town.

 

[Mike K]

Maybe Driggs? Alta (above) is the better guess though. =)

 

[Rockskipper]

Alta it is. You're right, not much of a town, and the only town in Wyoming you can't get to from Wyoming.

@Kishenehn you're up!

 

[Kishenehn]

the only town in Wyoming you can't get to from Wyoming.

If you insist on driving, anyway.

This one might be a little difficult, but you guys seem to know your desert:

 

[deelek]

Hovenweep?

 

[Rockskipper]

Looks more like N.New Mexico to me.

 

[deelek]

Thought that might be Sleeping Ute mountain in the far background, but I like your guess better @Rockskipper valleys seem too big and ruins too large for Hovenweep on second look

 

[Kishenehn]

Nope, neither of the above.

The ruins you see are from a ghost town that prospered in the 1860s and 1870s. You can name the town, its namesake hill, the mountain range, or pretty much anything else.

 

[Rockskipper]

The stone made me think it was Indian ruins.

New guess - Treasure Mine in NV?
