Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Roaring Billy Walk - Haast River?

No, but you're getting much closer. We passed that on the way here, from memory it was raining heavily so we didn't stop.

Young Valley walk - near Blue Pools?

Getting further away. Haast River was closer.

Glacier Valley?

[eggs]

My first instinct when I saw it was Franz Josef, but I could not place where the falls would be.
But it might just be the walk there?

Glacier Valley?

More info? I couldn't find a "Glacier Valley" location.

Not Franz Josef but that is the closest guess so far. I doubt those falls are named, it was pretty wet and falls were everywhere.

One of the walks up the Fox Glacier valley - perhaps the Chalet Lookout Track?

Correct eggs, but I think they have changed the name to River Walk Lookout track or similar. Part of it had been closed from memory.

I could sort of match the landslip area, but the waterfall will need to go down as due to lots of rain..

This one is from the UK.

View of Edinburgh and Salisbury Crags from Arthurs Seat

Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh?

[eggs]

I will be a little bit pedantic here.
I can see Google Maps throws up this name - but that is technically the cliffy ridgeline in view below me.
This peak [used as a regular exercise run by the locals] has a more "notable" name.

[Tyreless]

Quick google.... found Arthur's Seat?

[Tyreless]

You wouldn't be the only one on the forums who can be a bit pedantic....

[eggs]

Normally I would let it go - but Arthurs Seat is well known in Edinburgh.

[Tyreless]

I've heard of Arthurs Peak and I've been to Edinburgh, but it was 39 years ago in my mis-spent youth so the details are sketchy.

Somewhere in Europe...

Looks like the basalt columns of Black Reynisfjara Beach. Never been to that part of the world though (only done lots of browsing and feeling sorry for myself for not being able to go yet..........)

[Tyreless]

That's correct, MM. Save your pennies - getting to Iceland is worth the expense.

[MountainMadness]

Sorry I forgot I posted here. (EDIT: and just put up a photo I've posted here before!! - new one below!)

South America - where am I?

[ribuck]

Cañon de Colca, Peru?

[MountainMadness]

No but close (not close close but in the same country!)

[wobbly]

Possibly on the suspension bridge at the start of the inca trail

[MountainMadness]

Sorry was battling the (rare) wet conditions over the weekend in the bluies.........

Yes wobbly has it - Urubamba River at KM82 (start of Inca Trail)

[wobbly]

Thanks MM I heard about floods in Canberra, where you out walking or at home?

Next. Where in the US am I ?

[wobbly]

Even if you don't know where it is, it's name is in the picture.

[ribuck]

Hourglass Rock?

[wobbly]

Don't know that one, decipher the shape of the shadow and whats in it to find the answer.

[eggs]

A lazy guess - might be Joshua Tree NP?

Edit - strike that - just looked closer at the photo and it looks like a gnarled pine. Won't be Joshua Tree..

PS - lets shift onto Canyonlands NP

[wobbly]

It is a pine tree but not in Canyonlands NP.

[Orion]

This must be like the categories in the Celebrity Jeopardy skits on SNL (e.g. "States that end in Hampshire" or "What color is green").

Pine Tree Arch
Arches N.P., Utah
