    Default Fair enough

    Yes. The place is huge!

    That little building in picture two is a full-scale replica of a church in Austria built to commemorate the site where "Silent Night" was written.

    The town of Frankemuth bills itself as a little slice of Bavaria in the US; spouse forced me to stop at Bronner's but since we had a boat to catch we didn't spend any time in Frankenmuth.

    They have entire kiosks in that store devoted to particular ornament types: a pet kiosk, a sports kiosk, a food kiosk, a hobby kiosk...

    Default Walnut Canyon?

    Kind of looks like the undercut shelves in Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff.

    It's not Walnut Canyon, but it does have ruins and petroglyphs.

    Default Could we get a hint?

    Like how far from a parking area would one find this sign?

    It doesn't look like a Federally-approved sign, so I would think it is either a Nations park or a state park. And I am thinking Arizona. But beyond that....

    Default Wow!

    What a beautiful arch. Perhaps Arches National Park in Utah.

    I didn't see the arch you shot, but here's a nice shot of petroglphys in Arches!

    Default Natural Bridges?

    That looks an awful lot like Sipapu Bridge.

    Default I think Cal's got it

    My first thought was Natural Bridges NM based on the buff sandstones and what little of the background topography can be seen. I'll second CalOldBlue on Sipapu Bridge within that NM.

    Default I'm not entirely convinced

    I agree that both of you are probably on the right track -- but if you look at this image, the topography isn't a perfect match.

    But it's possible that Kestrel was standing on that knob-like mesa and therefore captured this relatively undershot image. So... maybe I'm agreement too. In any case, great view!
