    Believe it or not, this is a trail.

    Where does it go?

    Default UKCraig and I have both been on this trail....

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

    Default OK, technically... I haven't been there yet

    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?

    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.

    {Oh, phish, I knew that... I must be tired -- Yeah, have you ever been there in the summer with the lighting storms lighting up the area -- the only way to safely cross those sketchy sections is by hanging onto the steel cables.. and that always seemed wrong to me with lightning hitting the ridges....) But it is an awesome trail -- the only one I like better is this one....}

    Default Very nice photo

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

    Good guess, but it's not Mesa Verde.

    Looks like some of the ruins at Hovenweep National Monument? I researched going but never made it.

    Default Two Trees – difference locations.

    Many, many trippers will have seen at least one of these trees on their travels.

    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.
