Guess the spot

[TheMountainRabbit]

If I were to slip on a wet rock and fall, breaking my wrist and tearing my TFCC, rolling down the drainage, would I end up in the Yellowstone River?

No - you would not. Other side of the continent actually.

All rivers out there go to the Yellowstone.....

Definitely some Snake River tributaries out there too. Continental Divide and all.

OK, I'm declaring the last one expired. Here's a new one:

 

[Rockskipper]

Somewhere in the Winds?

Somewhere in the Winds?

Nope, not the Winds

Looks to be Gore-ish.

It is "Gore-ish" indeed! But not quite in the Gores themselves...

Hint #2: here's a photo from a couple of miles from there:

I had views of Mount of the Holy Cross on my Saturday hike, and I recalled a trip around there many years ago. I think that I was at your lake in the photo about 35 years ago. So my guess is Lower Tuhare Lake in the Holy Cross Wilderness.

Yup, you're up!

ID the watercourse and then the location.

Oh funny! I was supposed to do a loop around Holy Cross Mt and camp near Tuhare this past weekend but went to the Gore instead!

Big Hint. The well known waterway makes it's journey generally south in three western states.

 

[RyanP]

The Colorado River, somewhere in western Colorado?

Not the Colorado. I am gone the rest of today

 

[Rockskipper]

The San Juan near Bluff? Never mind, I think it just goes through two states, Colorado and Utah.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Green River near Daniel Wyoming.

 

[ZLmtns]

@Rockskipper The San Juan also runs through the corner of New Mexico but not the river I am looking for.
@Outdoor_Fool Green River YES But not in Wyoming

 

[ZLmtns]

A few miles downriver and a boater has to deal with this.

Looks like Gates of Ladore, so the original shot is in Brown's Park.
