Guess the spot

[Noun Sequitur]

 

[Ben]

Reminds me of the rim at the exit of Fish Canyon.

 

[Artemus]

Isn't that the Abajos? Could this be the open terrain north of the Abajos and north of the road in to the Needles?

 

[Scott Chandler]

Way off from the others... El Morro/El Malpais NM? I've never been to either but this reminds me of a picture I think I've seen from one of them.

 

[Noun Sequitur]

@Scott Chandler is up, El Malpais it is. Might look familiar because the same overlook is currently on the nps website https://www.nps.gov/elma/index.htm . The low spot on the left is a lava field. It flowed up against a sandstone escarpment, creating a great place to watch sunsets. The mountain in the background is Taylor.

Art... I liked your guess, it made me homesick.

Well this El Malpais looks neat too. I am going there. Is there any fine informal camping to be done? Doggies allowed in the monument?

 

[Noun Sequitur]

I've only ever stayed at Joe Skeen campground, which has always been pleasant but I imagine could get crowded sometimes. There are backcountry spots but I've never made an overnight hiking trip. I think pets are allowed but the lava is pretty rough to walk on. Wear good boots.

Here's some shots from Joe Skeen Campground....

I had a coworker work there and I had never heard of El Malpais. That first shot on the website yeah has stuck in my head.

Um... Name the body of water...

[Ben]

[Langdon Greene]

Jackson Lake, looking north-ish (Elk Mtn / Owl Peak on the left)?

Dang, that one makes sense, he did go there if I remember right.

Agree with @Bob Wire Res Bay looking south to Fox (Renard) Island.

We have a cabin reserved in Thumb Cove on the east side in July for 3 nights. Obviously a great place to go chillax for a few days.
