There ya go!

I recognized that canyon, and the cliff dwellings pic made it easy. Went there on a family trip in the early '70s. Funny, I'll be returning to that area in a few weeks, as we'll be visiting some Nat'l parks in CO and UT.

So, here we go. Speaking of family trips from long ago, I took this pic summer '73. Sorry if it's a bit dark--I scanned it from a Kodachrome slide.

Just a stab in the dark to get things going...
Somewhere near Wind River Canyon, Wyoming ?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Wind River, not Wyoming.

BTW, Wind River is an awesome drive through for those heading west on the way to the Tetons. Many people overlook it.

 

[arturo7]

Western US?

 

[MaxStout]

Yep, west of the Mississippi.

 

[MaxStout]

And east of the Rockies.

No more hints until I get some more guesses.

 

[applescrap]

Scots bluff

 

[MaxStout]

Not Scottsbluff, but it's a place with similar terrain.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

California National Historic Trail, Nebraska

 

[MaxStout]

It's not in Nebraska.

 

[leftcontact]

Las Cruces, NM?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Las Cruces. Farther north.

 

[leftcontact]

Not Las Cruces. Farther north.

Truth or consequences?

 

[MaxStout]

Much farther north. Not in NM.

Pic was taken in a nat'l park.

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

That picture is so old, that park probably doesn't exist anymore

 

[Rodent]

is that a lake running thru the middle of the image?

if not a lake, some other type of body of water?

it's near impossible to determine what this is actually an image of on my screen - it could simply be a streak of light paint running down a dark surface for all I can tell

 

[Bilsch]

Badlands national park ?

 

[homebrewer_99]

Badlands national park ?

More like Bad Picture NP... (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

But, yeah, it could be the Badlands or the hoodoo's in Bryce Canyon.

 

[MaxStout]

It's Badlands NP.

 

[Bilsch]

I flew over that place a couple times and remember thinking I'd rather lose the engine over shark infested water because that way at least you'd have a chance.

Anyway here we go..
