I hiked in Snow State Park 10 years, but didn’t recognize it from the pic.
I once watched about half an hour of John Wayne as Ghengis Khan, and laughed my keister off. It was so bad it was funny.

I was there 10 years ago, too. Maybe if we zoom in really close, you are somewhere in the photo?
Most of the trails are down in the canyon, and accessed from the south or the east - closer to St. George. This view is from Snow Canyon Overlook, at the far northern end. I sort of got the impression it was a trail “less traveled”. Also not the prettiest hike, until the spectacular payoff at the overlook.

Considering that offtrail hasn't even checked in after posting and that it had been almost a year since he participated before his recent post, I suspect we'll have to start over with someone else posting a photo. |

If you are going to be absent from the forum for some time answer your own question and the posting of the next photo will be done by the first person to be here after your admission. I am going to risk public rebuke, discipline, anatomical agony, and of course a severe flogging in the public square. I don't think offtrail intended to continue with the game and post a new photo. It's been over 23 hours since he checked in. So, I am taking the fateful risk of posting a new photo to keep things moving along here. I took the following photo with a disposable point-and-shoot camera before my first digital camera, sometime around the turn of the millennium. Toward the right of the farthest horizon is the highest point in the mountain range. The lake in the immediate foreground is rarely labeled on maps but is slightly higher in elevation than 10,000 feet. The question is " who is the general land manager of the location from which the photo was taken?" Bonus points for naming the peak I mentioned on the far horizon.  |

Another view of the peak on the far right of the most distant horizon. Center of photo is almost due west of me but from a nearer lake, named for a common dairy product. The land manager here is not the same as the land manager of the previous photo.  |

Only group consensus can judge you Travis. I for one support your initiative and believe you are acting within the spirit of the rules. Maybe just some 7 year old Mountain House Beef Stroganoff for you.

Best by June 2052? If I live to be 100, I can just imagine having to discard that package because it's JULY.

You just wouldn’t be getting the “best” all that freeze dried yumminess had to offer the month before. Fun discovery a while back? The “pro pack” versions of the MH meals have higher calorie totals due to having significantly more protein than the standard ones. Fwiw |

National Parks Service? BLM? Bureau of Reclamation? State Natural Resources? |

Land manager, eh? Forest Service? National Parks Service? BLM? Bureau of Reclamation? State Natural Resources? Thanks for guessing, but there is another one, and it helps to know the mountain range. So here is another hint: the high point of the mountain range is also the high point of the state. |

The land manager is an agency. I suspect Ralph, despite his merits and talents, is a member. Well then you should've said " what" is the land managing agency, not " who". Under absarokanaut 's game rules, bylaw 45.112, article 39, sub-paragraph J, I hitherto & forthwith demand an immediate appeal, a third-party arbitration, and an overall judicial review. I have been torted by this derelictly malfeasoned criminality! |
