Mogollon Rim?

Mogollon Rim?

Wrong continent!

But a good guess on the idea of a waterfall in a place that, off the top (for me, at least), doesn't sound like it should have a waterfall.

Tugela Falls, South Africa

You got it!

A couple days late but here it is

 

[tracer bullet]

This has a USA feel, desert Southwest. But pine trees.

I'll start the guessing generically with - Colorado.

Cali Sierra Nevada Mtns?

 

[Brewsmith]

Cali Sierra Nevada Mtns?

It is in the Sierra Nevada. There is a small connection to a couple posts ago in Colorado.

 

[InspectorJon]

Looks like higher elevation (6000-8000 feet), eastern Sierras. June Lake or nearby?

Even higher, and yes, June Lake is relatively close

Tenaya Lake?

 

[InspectorJon]

Mammoth Lakes, maybe Lake Mary?

 

[Brewsmith]

Tanaya Lake and Mammoth/Lake Mary are all in the neighborhood, but too far northwest.

Lake Crowley

 

[InspectorJon]

Above 8000 feet so can’t be Crowley. Not sure there are any roads to lakes above 8000 feet in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains. Can one drive here?

OK, I’m going with Rock Creek Lake in Mono County.

You are correct. The clue was in relation to the colorado location being the highest public paved road in the US. Rock creek lake is on the highest paved road in California. The elevation of the lake is just about 9800 feet and the end of the road a half mile or so south is a little over 10,000 feet. We camped there over the 4th of July in 2020 during the pandemic. I have never seen so many people above 10,000. Everyone had to get out of the house. We hiked from the end of the road just over 7 miles to get to the Gem Lakes, next door to Morgan Pass.

Inspector Jon, you are up!

Palm trees and what looks like volcanic rock, so I'm going to start with Hawaiʻi?

 

[InspectorJon]

That’s a good start. Correct country and state. Now we need a correct island , city and hopefully specific location. The nearest city will do.

If you zoom in there is a beach. The name of the beach and community would be cool.

Moku nui and Moku Iki, across from Lanikai, picture taken from Lanikai Monument.

Given Hawaii it didn't take too long to peruse the waters outside the islands. Cool place to kayak to, I bet.

 

[InspectorJon]

Lanikai is the place. @tracer bullet is up.

 

[tracer bullet]

Not my picture. But I'd love to check the place out in person if I ever make it to the area.

Staying with the waterfall theme-

 

[cmac62]

Looks tropical, but different rock, i'm guessing the Caribbean?

You’re guessing correctly

 

[cmac62]

Okay after a quick google search I'm going with Dunn River Falls Jamaica.
