Guess the spot

[regehr]

I'll post a hint tomorrow if needed.

This peak is a pain to get to from all directions. One of its faces has a huge scar due to a landslide; the scar is visible from many central Wasatch peaks.

 

[steve]

hm... are the scars visible on google earth?

 

[regehr]

Yes, definitely.

Ok, I was hoping this mountain's distinctive shape would give it away. Also it's one of my favorites. How about this: it's (as far as I know) the highest point in SLC.

That looks like the arch out on the Hole-in-the-Rock trail (the other side of it that no one goes to).

 

[steve]

You got it Nick. I don't remember the name of the arch, but it's definitely worth the quick 20 min hike to it.

 

[Nick]

Nice. I've only seen it in photos but I'd like to get out there someday.

Where are these easily accessible ruins?

 

[steve]

are they between Moab and Montecello on 191?

 

[Nick]

Nope.

 

[Yellowstone 1]

Are these in Capitol Reef?

 

[Nick]

Nope. But they are in a National Park.

 

[steve]

are they in needles district?

 

[Nick]

Nope.

Aztec butte ruins?

Aztec butte ruins?

Ding ding ding! You got it. These are the ruins on the smaller butte, closer to the trailhead. You're up dude.
