Guess the spot

I thought boulder as the pic looks more like a plateau blue bell knoll was my first thought but I couldnt find anything, then the laccolithic threw me off as Pine Valley is also the L word but I dont think pine valley ever had glaciers...

Boulder mountain perhaps?
Click to expand...
boulder mountain is correct. i personally don't think it is a laccolith and agree with the lava flow/seep theory, but it is actually still up for debate (not much is tilted against it to show that it is an intrusion from below like the main SU Laccoliths (though on the east there is the waterpocket fold, the south the escalante monocline and the west the pausagunt/sevier fault w/powell point/table cliffs technically part of the aquarius plateau- it is attached then add that thousand lakes mountain is it's twin in a sense and you have the south end of the san rafael swell & caineville reef alongside it. sometimes i feel like those mountains have CAUSED those folds by being in the way of flexures and did not come after they - the folds/reefs- were formed)-
that same NAU geologist said he'd only seen about 2 or three papers even academically done on the geology of boulder mountain.
anyway....
it is a huge cairn on Bouldertop which is placed in either the exact or approximate center of that section of the plateau.
it is just north & east of Bakeskillet Lake - just a bit past bluebell knoll - (which i almost posted a picture from.) it is along the road that goes from near Bluebell over to Spectacle Lake.
 
Sweet!
