Only slightly harder in b&w for this scene. I have a color version, and while this location is known for some colorful rocks, it isnt nearly as colorful as some of the surrounding areas.

 

Having said that, this isnt the Rockies or Montana, but it is on the same continent.

 

edit: thought i should also attach the color that my friend took with this FOUR megapixel digital camera

Hello Phil,

 

California?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

[pechelman]

Michael,

Not a bad guess, I can see where you're going, but not CA.

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Phil,

 

Perhaps somewhere in the Northern half of Mexico might be closer?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hard to say if it's closer, but it certainly isnt really further away than CA.

Really depends on where in CA you were specifically thinking. That should narrow it down a bit.

Yosemite, Sierra Nevada?

Hello Phil,

 

1 spot that is not closer or further from California or Northern Mexico is Arizona.

 

Could this be a photo of somewhere in Arizona?

 

Best Regards,

Yosemite, Sierra Nevada?

 

Nope, not in CA.

Not Arizona either, but that's definitely closer to this picture than either CA or NM. 

Surely this gives away the state, but now we're looking for where I am exactly in the state.

If it helps, this picture was taken from maybe the quintessential or maybe most famous hike in the area.

Hello Phil,

 

If not NORTHERN Mexico, how about NEW Mexico?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Michael

My apologies.

I read one of your original posts as New Mexico when you wrote Northern Mexico.

Regardless, neither is the right location, but NEW Mexico is close to this location. Arizona even closer.

Hello Phil,

 

We are running out of places here.

 

Perhaps this might be somewhere in Nevada?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

[pechelman]

Michael

Not Nevada. I think only one left.

Do you have something against Utah?

 

Phil

[stuny]

I was thinking of near Page.

[pechelman]

You're about 100mi away, Stuart.

[pechelman]

thought i would bump this since you all are really close to guessing it I feel like.

 

What we have established;

 

Location is in Utah and is appx 100mi from Page, AZ.

 

I will give another hint; the peak I am standing on is much larger than the "head of a pin".

[pechelman]

anyone?

Do i need to give another hint?

[stuny]

I was thinking of a Utah location, but not ass far as 100 miles from Page.

[pechelman]

according to google maps, it is exactly 104 miles for the driving directions between "Page, AZ" and this place.

[stuny]

I checked some photos on our site.  Maybe Paria River Canyon?

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[pechelman]

Not there, Stuart.

 

As a reminder, we've narrowed this down to being in the state of UTAH about 104 miles from page via google driving directions.

The other hint is about the "head of a pin". Which, if you search that phrase in google, gives you one of the names of the name of the peak.

With that one name and "UTAH" one will find the name of this place. 

 

Ill give one more hint though, because it sounds like it might be needed, this is a national park.

 

Sorry for giving such a hard one. I really thought this one was relatively easy given how famous this hike \ view are inside this national park.
