Where In the World Am I?

Closer....the rock in the background is on the most popular approach to Half Dome. Near a certain famous falls.
I think "Yosemite" might have sufficed for the answer, bit if you want to keep going, I'm game.

Liberty Cap?

Bingo! Taken on my wife and my's last trip to Yosemite before "we're going to try to start a family and probably won't be back here for a while." Fanstastic few days of hiking in a wonderful little private cabin inside the park, about a 10 minute drive from the valley. Possibly my favorite place in the world, especially if you can get out to the popular spots without crowds (we did...early morning during the week, had the mist trail mostly to ourselves on the way up....the return trip in the picture was packed with hikers in jeans and sneakers with an *empty* 8 ounce bottle of water and no other gear), and then explore some of the hidden gems. We were on one trail towards the end of our trip (memorial day weekend) where we hiked for HOURS without seeing A SINGLE other person, with views of most of the valley, upper and lower falls, and ended up in a crowded popular spot. Finding those gems is one of my favorite activities in the woods.


Oh, and you're up!

Where am I now?

 

[smokelaw1]

I'd say Franconia notch, maybe on top of the ridge where the old man is/was? Likely wrong, though....looks quite Adirondacky too.....

 

[kaseri]

Not Franconia Notch.

I'll go with China, somewhere in their mighty mountains...

 

[kaseri]

Not China. I'll give you a clue, it's in NH.

 

[smokelaw1]

It's somewhere in the White Mountains....is that Canon?

 

[kaseri]

Not Canon. Canon would be west of this location

Old Man of the Mountain - after the collapse (in May 2003)

 

[kaseri]

This location is not the Old Man of the Mountain site. A good try though!

Keep trying!

Is that Mt. Washington in the background? Or are you on it?

 

[kaseri]

Mt. Washington is not in the background and I am not on the summit of Mt. Washington in the photos.

How long should we wait till I spill the beans? I don't want to make this thread grind to a halt.

maybe it's time to give the answer and post a easier picture as it has been over a week.....

 

[ChristopherL]

I don't know the name but I've totally been there.
Post the next picture please.

 

[kaseri]

The location in the photos is the summit of Bondcliff. One of the most amazing places in the White Mountains.

Here is an easy one to keep the thread moving along

Uhm, Mount Washington in New Hampshire?

 

[kaseri]

Yep, you're next.
