Nothing offensive at all that I could spot, but I'm no longer a moderator. I'd just like to see the thread keep going!

Sorry everyone, I left to go backpacking over the long weekend, and then life caught up with me when I got back into town. I just now had a second to sit down and check this thread. I wasn't offended by anyone's post; hopefully I haven't offended you all by making you wait so long!

The waterfalls are the flume gorge, while the hut is the lonesome lake hut. I just got back from a different area of the white mountains, so I'll try to post a trip report eventually.

I'll pass it on to billstephenson, since I think he was still closest, and I clearly let the ball drop!

As the official OP, I approve this solution.

Bill? You're up!

Where's Bill?

OK--as the OP, I am going to step in and get this started again, since Bill seems to have disappeared. I hope he is no a trip...

So where it THIS famous peak in the Sierra?

Well, it's been four days with nary a guess, so I think another clue is in order.

Perhaps this thread should be renamed "Name this spot in the Sierras!"

My guess is that most people are out on the trail. We just got back from five days in the Sierra. Well give this a couple more days..

A couple more days to provide another clue?

I'm not familiar with the Sierra but will try guessing.

It's a mountain, supposedly well known. Except for the pointy high point, it looks a lot like Fremont Peak in the Wind Rivers. That's not much help, because it isn't!

If it's really famous, could it be Mt. Whitney???? A few images I found online look vaguely like the photo, but not enough to match for sure. So this is a wild guess!

Of course we have a mountain up here in the PNW that is only 95 feet lower than Whitney. Being a volcano, however, it is subject to sudden change--which makes it more interesting.

The next hint: the name of the peak also applies to the adjoining Basin full of lakes...

Miter?

Not Mitre....this is further North. Not in a national park.

Oh well, I spelled it right. Another dunce's cap for me.

Or a Bishop's Mitre for you?

Just to keep this moving along, I am going to venture Seven Gables, but that doesn't seem to work with your clue.

Nope. It's closer to Four Gables than Seven Gables!

And if THAT isn't enough of a clue....I'll have to post something else.

Should I give up on this one?

Does anyone care? Or should I just let this die...?

Williamson? Just a SWAG.

The curious (think me) would like to know!

Basin Mountain?

Nah. Mount Humphreys is probably the one...

HOORAY! We have a winner. It IS Humphreys that gives its name to the basin over which it towers....

And that means the KeepWalking is up! Post a photo for us to decipher...

I should probably stop guessing, as I don't have any spot in the clouds where I keep photos, so I can't post one in this thread.

Whoever wants to go next, please do.

I have the same problem. My flickr account went dormant in 2011 and I haven't been able to resurrect it. I don't really want to start another one. I've been able to copy/paste a few shots, but everything there is at least 6-7 years old.

I am happy to keep this going. A "magical" place where I recently was:

That looks cold and rugged. Alps? Norway?
