Partially correct, need more info. This is a specific feature in that region.

Getting closer. Not Sheep Mountain, which is about 28km from here. This location is a significant geological area caused by a specific and sudden event in the first third of the twentieth century.

Wasn't the landslip on Sheep Mountain? Or maybe that's where it started

You may have something there oyster, I wasn't aware of the Sheep Mountain connection and google maps lists it a fair distance away. A bit more research indicates that the landslide may have started on it's northern slopes. This actual spot is designated the Gros Ventre Slide, in the Gros Ventre Wilderness area of Bridger-Teton National Forest, located 11 km east of Jackson Hole valley and Grand Teton National Park. We did an interesting short hike traversing the lower slide area. Over to you.

I admit I would never have known had I not coincidentally seen a YouTube clip on the landslide a week or so ago.

Here is a new one...

Similar to the Aussie game the country, or at least the continent, should be provided when posting.

Great movie, but better book. The movie had various inaccuracies, particularly around locations. In fairness though, this allowed for splendid cinematography.

Were parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade filmed in that area?

Carlsbad caverns

Unless that's been translated into English, I'm going to have to say negatory. (Slight location hint there)

This game is dying very quickly :cry:

I am out of photos to post and probably shouldn't be guessing but as no one else is I'd say you could be in Mexico and about to enter Garcia Caves / Grutas de Garcia.

I'll post an easy one from NZ... Where did I get this view from?
