I am going to bow out of this one too -- I know Craig's been here too.

Is that Capitol Reef?
Since I technically haven't really been here yet I am going to name it anyway. I can never quite remember what this section of the trail is called -- But it is on the Angels Trail in Zion NP -- It is extremely easy to fall here -- it really is as nuts as it looks like in the photo.
I'm pretty sure that UKCraig has hiked this?
Mark
Close enough. It's the Angel's Landing trail in Zion National Park. From the top it's 1,400 ft of almost vertical drop on three sides.Quote:

Where is this?
The easy guess would be Mesa Verde -- but the topography is wrong.... Lovely photo though!

Good guess, but it's not Mesa Verde.Quote:

Make my day - where is this lonely looking tree.

This place (nearby community) is named after an early postmistress.
Of added interest, maybe to some, my wife was told by a local that the location under this tree was used as a setting by Elvis for one of his songs /films. However, not be able to find any evidence to support this.
