I have to dismiss myself from this one, for I cut the log that was across the trail in this photo a couple of years ago. Murphy is my witness. Don

Don, you have a good memory. Thanks for cutting that tree out of the way! The trail was in very good condition. Now if there were a few less trees up the trail a ways we would have a lot better view. Whoops, have I said too much?

You mean a few less trees at a lookout site up the trail a ways, is that what you are saying Kirk? Don

Yes, as Helen once said "Our view is all the beauty of God." It's hard to see the forest for the trees any longer up there. Well, that might be an exaggeration, you can still see for quite a ways if you get in the right spot. But you can't really see what the vistas used to be like when the newlyweds resided there.   Kirk

OK, I was waiting for someone else to answer the question - you basically gave it away with the last couple of clues.  That has to to be the Fish Creek Mountain trail.

And it is!  Your turn......

This trail is not in a wilderness area and is an official trail.

What's the elevation here? Say around 4,500' to 5,000'?

I was thinking it was a little lower, but after reviewing the trail, that is the range (more or less) of where this photo was taken.  

I'll take a guess, how about the Rho Ridge Trail? Don

You are too far east.  

Rob Williams said You are too far east.  

How about the Baty Butte Trail?

You are closer.  

Thunder Mountain?

Doug Firman said Thunder Mountain?

We have a winner!

Doug Firman said Thunder Mountain?

I was kinda thinking that too. Congratulations Doug. If I don't say so myself, great minds think alike.  

West side, right?   Don2

Donovan said West side, right?  

To be honest, I took that photo a while ago, and I can't remember exactly where I took it.  

This is at a campsite just off a wilderness area trail.  What trail is it?

The rock on the trail looks out of place. Was the rock brought in to repair a horse damaged trail in a wilderness area? Don
