Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[arturo7]

Where's Wikileaks when we need it?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Not sure what the answer was. Also, find it odd that the correct answer was revealed in a PM. And that guesses get changed, etc. It's not important, of course, just a dumb game on the webz, but I don't understand what's going on and it's causing me to lose interest altogether.

I blew it. I received a pm from newsman chastising the clue about "last city". In my reply, I inadvertently revealed the answer. I should have responded to the whole group with newsman's critique. The correct answer is Murmansk. To compound matters, we had a power outage that delayed my writing this until now. Someone else should post an image now.

I'll post an easy one just to get this going again.

Edit:

Hope that's ok with everyone, if not I'll take it down and someone else can.

Okay, let's hope this picture posts... I'll give two hints.

It's in America.
It's high elevation.

Could be anywhere. Sometimes you can tell by the shape of the hills or color of the dirt, but both are distorted. I'll go with west of the Mississippi.

FAR west.

Thats wherever the moon landings were filmed.

Funny, I was hiking here with my girlfriend on vacation [hint], and she said "it's like hiking on the moon."

Altiplano in Bolivia?

I should be more specific. It's in the United States of America, not just "the Americas".

Donner Pass

Nope.

There you go! You're up...

Yes, some people go to Hawaii to lounge around on the beach and drink fruity beverages. I wake up at 3 AM to drive to see the sunset on Haleakala and then hike 11 miles through the crater
