I still think we might need a clue -- but if I were to hazards a guess, I would say the "Big Rock Candy Mountain" near Marysvale, Utah?

Clue #1: This peak is not in Nevada.
Clue #2: This peak is not in Utah.
Clue #3 (BIG CLUE): This peak IS on NPS property!

Let me know if you need more clues.

Guadalupe Peak is in a national park -- so maybe the highest peak in Texas?

Yea Mark, you got it! Guadalupe Peak (8749 ft.) in Guadalupe Mountains National Park is the highest point in Texas.

I doubt I'd ever have recognized the mountain, but there was something about the combination of the clues and the questions that made me think of Texas! So, good job leading us down that path!

Welllll............

That looks like it might be a Colorado license plate on that thing - would it be safe to assume that this is somewhere in Colorado?

Yep, and I wrote an article about it.... In the not too distant past.

If you purchase tickets at the bus, there's a darn good chance that you'll be in hot water.
