Name That Place Game

Gilman Tunnel on NM 376 is my guess but thats more NW than SW so I'mm likely wrong.

Correct, Gilman tunnels it is. I'm directionally dyslectic. That's why following me is always an adventure  .

Take it away!

I was wondering about this.  I have traveled southwest New Mexico may times and had no idea where this was.

Abercrombie, are you taking the next one? I am seeing this in a parking lot because of the Nashville bombing. We have had no cell or internet since noon Christmas.

I got this.  I love the guessing part but hate the picking part.  

Here you go.

Desert View Watchtower at the Grand Canyon South Rim?

Desert View Watchtower at the Grand Canyon South Rim?

You got it!  Funny thing is I took this picture five years ago but couldn't remember where or what it was.  The picture was from my 2015 SW-FOG Cedar City UT trip where we dipped South into Pheonix and hit the South Rim before meeting up with the SW-FOG folks.

We'll try a harder one:

Hmmm, Lake of the Ozarks?

Nope. It's in the Northeast of the US. The ozarks are very flat in comparison to the height of this area.

I think I got this.  Cadillac Mountain, Arcadia National Park.

Full disclaimer - I checked the internet before my guess, but you'll have to agree that I had to know what to search for.

I've been to this place and I recognized it as soon as Goodman posted it.  The "northeast" clue sealed it.

Sorry HPPants. You're right that it looks a lot like Cadillac Mtn. On this trip we went to Bar Harbor the following day. But this is over 100 miles west and a great view of another area.  I can't remember who recommended this road and the overlook to us, but we found it very peaceful. 



The pic above is the placard of the location that I blurred the words out.

I took a break near this overlook and laid on a rock and looked at the sky. When I got back to the bike I had lost my keys.  That wasn't much fun but Tammy carries a backup key so we were not as panicked as we otherwise would have been. Two minutes after leaving we saw our first moose on the motorcycle:



I think some of our New Hampshire and Vermont friends would recognize this place and the lake it overlooks.

 

[BigOgre]

I had a feeling it was in the Northeast and would even venture a guess as to the lake but it would be just a guess.  I'll leave it for someone who's sure and maybe could even identify the overlook.

 

[Bugnatr]

No clue where the lake is but I like the Moose tracks at the overlook.

Lake Placid?

 

[Goodman4]

Nobody's got it yet. HPPants had the state correct, though. Last hint for 24 hours.

 

[RossKean]

I would guess the Rangeley Lake general area but couldn't place the exact location of the photo.

Found it - Height of Land.

#17 near Rangeley.  Overlooking Mooselookmeguntic Lake.

Correct! Hwy 17 up by Mooselookmeguntic Lake then you can take 4 by Rangeley for a nice ride.

Do you want to post RossKean?

Sure.

We'll start with this as a Canada location.  Coastal (obviously).  A bit off the beaten track and 19 km from any Google street view.

If it is too obscure as a specific location, I'll try another.

Is that Cape Race?
