Guess the spot

[Cody]

OK, I give up @Cody. That is an awesome geologic feature. Where is Devi's Eye? And don't say on Hell's Backbone

On a ridge above American Fork Canyon. I accessed it from a small drainage called Preston Canyon in Alpine. I have heard that it's also been done from the canyon side of the ridge but I wouldn't recommend that. It can't be spotted from the valley, but can be seen from a few places in the canyon near Timpanogos Cave N.M. It is bigger than it appears in the photo. Really neat feature and totally worth the challenging hike.

A shot in the dark, Amethyst Basin?

I think you're right @Yellowstone 1 - looks like the base of Ostler Peak on the right. We'll see if Nick confirms.

Dang! I'm taking out more pieces next time! You're up!

Here's the full pic. It's the meadow right at the heart of Amethyst Basin just before the trail gets to BR-24.

This might be a little tough, but then again maybe not.

 

[Nick]

Well I'm saying definitely Uintas. I'm not sure where it would have been taken from, but it looks like maybe looking down canyon from up near Spring Canyon. Mirror Lake Highway and Provo River in the trees below?

 

[Yellowstone 1]

This is in the Uinta's, but that is not the Provo below and the Mirror Lake Highway is actually about 3-4 miles to the right of this picture.

Hint: Somewhere south/southeast of Butterfly lake.

Ahhh I see... gotta be like right by Packard Lake, looking down the Duchesne with Marsell Canyon on the left.

You sir are correct!

 

[Nick]

Okay, I might have gone a little crazy with the puzzle pieces on this one.

 

[Yellowstone 1]

Looks like Capitol Reef Chimney Rock?

Looks like Capitol Reef Chimney Rock?

It does kinda look like that! But nope. Strangely enough, that pinnacle in the center doesn't have a name, at least not on the USGS map.

 

[Nick]

Here's a little more....

It reminds me of a spot on Lockhart Basin Rd.

Nope. This spot is quite a distance from that area. It isn't even very close to any national parks or monuments.

 

[Nick]

Okay, I guess I picked a hard one. Here's the full photo... Where be this?

 

[regehr]

Somewhere awesome that I've never been.

 

[Nick]

Haha! Okay, here's a hint. There's bubbly water down there...

Salt wash area?

 

[Nick]

You're in the right part of the state, but still no go. There is a pretty significant river flowing down there. Some might even call it grand in some places...
