Juneau is correct, capital of Alaska. I had always thought it was Anchorage until we went there.

Yes John - It was a peak that grew on us as we were around it for a number of days. Quite a beast.

This lake is far smaller than the last. On reflection, it has the same name as another nearby (also smaller) lake.

That's correct, and I actually confused myself into thinking it was Mirror Lake a couple of hours further up the track (so the previous clue makes no sense). All yours.

I got back from walking the Milford Track 2 weeks ago, so it was still fresh in the memory. Next is in Europe.

This is in Switzerland. It’s enough to get your goat (as the French would say).

I don't know why I'm playing, so hard to find photos I haven't used already (often more than once 
).
But are you on the ascent to Col de Riedmatten, Valais, Western Alps?

Well I’m glad you’re playing, because you got it right. This is next to the Pas de Chevres (french for “goats”) on the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt.

Thank you Tyreless, I wondered what the goat reference was about.
This one might be hard but I'll give it a try. Back to NZ:
