Guess the spot

[gnwatts]

correct

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

I am guessing Wilson Peak, down by Telluride.

You're up!

Oops, caught me napping!

Not the best photo of the two, but if you can name one, then you probably know the other.

Hmmm. I was thinking of High Uinta's and Ostler Peak until I saw that gunsight notch in the left skyline. So, as usual, I have no idea.

Looking at the Window and the Rio Grande Pyramid from Weminuche Pass on the CDT
I got a bag night there last September

 

[Opi]

Actually looks like you're up the trail a bit from the pass in that nice meadow area.
had to look at my map when I got home from work
You're on the Rincon La Vaca Trail (CDT)

 

[mike_offerman]

You are correct, great spot up there!

 

[Opi]

The river runs thru it

Looks a bit like Snowmass Creek (Colorado) near the junction of the 2 forks, but this valley seems to be a lot narrower.

It also reminds me of a spot looking down Cascade Canyon [main fork] in Grand Tetons. Actually, the more I look at it the more I think that's it! ETA: Yep, that's my guess. The rocks look right for it too. We spent about an hour on the rockslide above that river bend meadow watching a big bull moose feed, wading through the river down there. I'm pretty sure that's it. I guess I could go look at my photos to see if it's a match....

 

[mike_offerman]

I am thinking San Juans, but not sure where....

 

[Opi]

it is in the San Juans
The Valley/spot on the river below is marked on a map

 

[mike_offerman]

Took me a minute, but I have a feeling those are train tracks and not a road. How about Elk Park?

 

[Opi]

yes mike_offerman you are correct.
For everyone else - thats the Animas river, still has a tint of yellow to it from that mine disaster. Also one of the stops backpackers can get on and off the Durango Silverton Train.

 

[mike_offerman]

Plan on heading down to Elk park this summer, looking forward to it!

This one might be a little tough, but is the only photo I took of it. First hint, don't let the snow fool you.

 

[Seldom Seen Anderson]

Pine Valley?

 

[Artemus]

Signal Peak?

 

[Langdon Greene]

Mauna Loa?

 

[mike_offerman]

None of those 3 are in the correct state (Utah or Hawaii), though I am not quite sure I know where Pine Valley is.

Pine Valley Mtns are towering above St. George. Do I win?

You win my thanks for expanding my geographic knowledge!
