Valley of Fire?

@deelek - Indeed, VoF, you are up! Off trail during a busy school holiday week and we saw nobody the entire day, well except at the TH.

@zionsky - nope, I tried hard to find a non-Utah, non-Arizona photo. But now I want go to the place you want to go to on HRVR .

Nice! VoF is a very cool place if you can get away from the Vegas day trippers. Lots of great off trail stuff. Had a great time there after a rare rain chased everybody away

Not Bisti badlands, but it does look New Mexican to me.

Correct as always @3d3vart it is in New Mexico but east of Bisti. Don't know if this will help but often painted by a famous New Mexican artist.

Ghost Ranch? Abiquiu?

 

[deelek]

Ghost Ranch? Abiquiu?
Very close , Ghost Ranch no, Abiqui yes

 

[Titans]

Plaza Blanca, which is super close to Abiquiu - if this is correct, then I suggest @3d3vart is up (since I had no idea.... but I'm thrilled to see some NM trip inspiration)

 

[deelek]

Plaza Blanca it is, which translates to the White Place frequently painted by Georgia O'Keefe. Ghost Ranch is about 20 miles north
Take it away @3d3vart

Chama river somewhere near the CDT. Think we have been to a lot of the same places!

That's it. Figured I'd stay in New Mexico for this one. You're up @deelek

 

[John Morrow]

This one should be significantly easier although there are still no lakes in view. Name the range or the peak I am standing on.

What are you on here if you don't mind me asking. Castle Dome? It's not Signal. Something more esoteric? Well, maybe it is Signal looking NW. Tried my pics and didn't snap one in that direction

 

[deelek]

What Canyon?

 

[John Morrow]

jeez, shallow sandstone in the Mojave....only wild guesses from me so I'll yield!

 

[deelek]

The Gold Butte thread reminded me. From the same canyon

 

[o2bav8]

Big horn canyon?
