Guess the spot

[Ben]

Ben, was that something you saw on our trip in March or on another time?

I saw that on our trip : )

I'll give the bulk of the credit to Google on that one, but that cave looks very interesting. I'd really like to see it.

Apparently caves form in the limestone layer there.

 

[Chuck the Mauler]

Dang it. On the way up and over Horseshoe Mesa?

 

[Ben]

It is in the Horseshoe Mesa area.

 

[Jackson]

Hint: it's in NW Wyoming.

 

[LarryBoy]

That's not Brooks Lake is it?

 

[Jackson]

That's not Brooks Lake is it?

You're quite close with that guess. Within a few miles.

 

[LarryBoy]

You're quite close with that guess. Within a few miles.

so uh, Upper Brooks Lake?

 

[Jackson]

so uh, Upper Brooks Lake?

Hahaha yep! Brooks Lake was close in distance and in name. You're up.

 

[LarryBoy]

Not sure if this one will be really easy or really hard.

 

[Rockskipper]

Hardly easy.

 

[LarryBoy]

Hint: In a National Park

 

[Scott Chandler]

Wow! I had no idea there was a cave in GCNP.

There are a lot of caves in GRCA from what I've read. I'm not sure how many are open to the public or even all that surveyed. As Ben said, the limestone layers form them.

 

[LarryBoy]

Hint: behind me is a canyon that drains ~15 miles down into one of Utah's rivers, one whose name may be a bit of an inside joke on the Guess the Spot thread...

 

[Jackson]

Great hint. Although I still don't know exactly which canyon that is. Cohab?

 

[Kullaberg63]

Oops, wrong thread!!

 

[Rockskipper]

Are you up on the Fremont River Trail? Or maybe the Chimney Rock Loop? Looks like Boulder Mtn in the distance.

And yes, great hint.

Yep, it's Spring Canyon! Although, it's at "the W" at the very top rather than the chimney rock entrance which is halfway down. You're up!

I think @Jackson should take this one, as he clued me in to the hint. I don't think I would've guessed it otherwise. So you're up, Jackson.

 

[Rockskipper]

OK, while we're waiting for Jackson, here's one - not backcountry, but on the way there - you'll recognize this if you've ever gone through Ashton, ID on the way to Island Park, then on to Yellowstone. OK, @Jackson, you're next.

Ever stop there? I've wanted to every time but always had something else going on.
