"Where in North America?" --- Section III

[Mark Sedenquist]

It's not Dead Horse State Park, but it is in Utah....

If you were to pan to right about 20 degrees (east) from this location, you'd see this:

That outcropping is, I believe Chimney Rock, (or at least I think I am standing in the correct spot)
This may, in fact, be too obscure -- I've stopped here a dozen times in recent years -- and even written about it... (if that gives you a clue).

Is it San Rafael swell in Utah?

[Mark Sedenquist]

It would take better vision than I've got to actually see "The Little Grand Canyon" from that spot. But you are pretty close - that drainage is actually the south fork of the Coal Wash, which eventually does make it to the San Rafael River which is the "Little Grand Canyon".

And, of course, the article I was referring to is.... this one.

And hey! I've got the wrong caption on the photo of that page. This same mystery photo is labeled Eagle Canyon -- but Eagle is a couple of drainages to the west. I've got to fix that!

Good work!

I should probably get in on the bandwagon.

State locals (and I bet Mark) should get this one in a heartbeat, hence why I won't give any clues this round.

Well, it's not one that leaps out at me

Very pretty photo though!

I won't say which state, Mark. But I will say it's within a 250-mile radius of RTA HQ (as the crow flies). :)

Joey,

That would be the old Coconino Courthouse in Flagstaff, Arizona -- another photo here.

This is on a famed tourist roadway.

Which one?

I hate to even want to know.... but I'm sure someone will tell us soon!

...But a very lovely model presenting it to us!

[CalOldBlue]

I know what it is, and where it is, but I'm having trouble finding it using obvious keyword searches... so here's a clue or two.

This, believe it or not, is actually a monument to a community essentially wiped off the map by floods in 1955 and 1964.

While they do grow some corn here, that wouldn't be anywhere close to the top of anybody's list of agricultural products for this area.

The first agricultural product the area is known for is high, the second one also has something to do with 'high'.
