How fitting that a hike in the mountains was the last thing she did before experiencing her final illness. I've always enjoyed the pictures of Emma and have an idea of how much she meant to you. My...

It's interesting that some people are using Facebook rather than forums as their primary way of staying in touch about things like hiking experiences. I agree with Bill O. that Facebook and forums...

Traveler Mountain.

Should I say where this is or not? (I have a sneaking suspicion a couple folks know already--they figured it out from looking at my blog, but I guess they are too shy to speak up. :) )

I'm really surprised no one has taken a shot at this. Anyone with the AMC Maine Mountain Guide map of Baxter can easily get it. But then, maybe I'm confusing folks interested in meteorology with...

So it was having my profile album set to "private" that was the problem! So no one saw the photo of the Matterhorn next to the Hotel Riffelberg or the one of me climbing Charlies Bunion from the...

Really weird, because I see the photo clear as day whenever I look at the page. I wonder if some of my other photos didn't show up either. Anyway, I'm trying it as an attachment. Let me know if you...

Thanks for the feedback. Can't quite figure it out, as I see a photo when I'm either logged in or logged out. I'd appreciate anyone else letting me know if there's no photo visible. But probably at...

Third and final hint: It's in Baxter.

Second hint: It's the mountain furthest north in Maine that's higher than 3500'. One of the most underappreciated gems of the state...great bushwhacking around there!

Hint: It's about ten miles away from a better-known mountain.

Fairy Falls in Yellowstone?

Here's one in Maine:

Give both the name of the pond and the name of the...

Hi Billy,

I was referring to my own mystery picture and not yours when I spoke of the AT. I wish I could make a decent guess at yours (and I wish someone else would give it a try, too!), but I...

Since a month has gone by and no one's come up with the answer, I'll give it away: Charlies Bunion.

Those are the balsams that were killed in the mid- to late 80s by the balsam woolly adelgid. Shenandoah doesn't have balsams because it doesn't have sufficiently high elevations. "Acid rain," "strip...

Thank you, Gregory Smith, for not liking the Smokies. That means one less visitor to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Not that I have to worry about seeing other people in my favorite parts...

Just curious about this commercial development is that's allowed inside "the Smokey Mountains." If you mean within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, I can't think of anything other than Park...

But ater you've solved billysinc's photo, here's my parting shot. A very popular and obvious place in the Smokies--except not many folks approach it from this direction.

Thank you, Hobbes. I did have a speck of doubt in my mind because the Gornergrat is a ridge rather than a peak--and Ober Gabelhorn has the requisite profile. My geographic knowledge clearly falls...

All right, thanks for the giveaway. So it's the Gornergrat. I never would have figured that out. If the camera shifts to the left, we get this image:

I'm throwing in the towel--partly for lack of time. If it's not a statistical high point and there isn't anything in the foreground that nails it, that makes it tough. I'm sure I'll kick myself when...

Jungfrau? But the mountain in your photo seems smaller. It's hard to come up with a neighbor to a major peak like the Eiger or the Matterhorn that's not huge and surrounded by glaciers. :confused:

Now I'm not so sure I have the right answer, as I don't know of a "bigger pyramidal neighbor." But I'll go ahead and say what my guess is: Grossglockner, the country high point of Austria, 12,460'....

Hobbes, I think I've got it, but I'm not going to post what I'm thinking until other people have had a shot at it. Does it have a "little" peak and a "big" peak?

I'm probably going to have to stop...

Bingo! Nevado Sajama, country high point of Bolivia, 21,463’, highest point in the Cordillera Occidental. Hobbes, you’re right in saying it’s not IN the Atacama, it’s on the border between the...
