Guess the spot

Lava Lake?

Farther south and other side of the river.

Wild shot.... Golden Tout Lakes area?

Getting very close. Head south. You're within about 5 miles.

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Ramshorn Lake? I'm just Google map guessing now....

I do that all the time, and yes that's it!

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Where's this photo of the cactus taken?

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Hint 1: this is in the US.
Hint 2: the species of cactus is important.

This kinda looks like possibly Ramshorn Lake in the Gallatins. Now was there years and years ago.

Edited: Early Morning and did NOT see Reef and Ruins Post. Great!

 

[Kmatjhwy]

Reef and Ruins, think I know where that Cactus photo is from. Hiked there many years ago in my youth. But will let others take a guess.

 

[Kmatjhwy]

Guess will say something ...

Is this in Organ Pipe Cactus NM? I hiked all over this place years ago.

If this is correct, then feel free to post another photo in my place.

 

[Reef&Ruins]

You are correct. It is a senita cactus in the Senita Basin/Senita Pass area of Organ Pipe Cactus NM.

I'll look for another picture to post shortly.

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Where is this?

 

[Reef&Ruins]

It has a very "Jurassic Park" feel to it....

Somewhere on Kauai? I think that's where a lot of that was filmed anyway.

No... but that is likely true about the filming although I thought it was Costa Rica.

Fern Canyon

Correct!

How Hollywood nearly ruined one of Calif.'s most enchanting places

The undisputed beauty of Fern Canyon — and its use in film — had become a problem.

Hint: This southwestern reservoir has the same name as the village close by. The colorful cliffs & the white cliffs near this village have been featured in many movies. A well known artist had a home here and the area was featured in some of her paintings.

Looking for the name of the village. Here's another area photo:
