Where Am I - Part 7

I hear it has changed a lot since I was there LOL!!

Blooms, this happened on the last thread, where was that, Palm Canyon.... or almost, where we both posted almost the same time!

Yay!!! I wonder how old those trees are

Kelli, this was a fun search, I found lotsa pictures.
frozen in October? how high is that mountain?
They just said on tv that it may snow in Vegas on Sunday

If things on that mountain are anything like on the White Mountains of CA, there should be bristlecones there that are at least 2000 years old.

The topo map shows the spring at around 3,000 meters. That's well over 9,000ft.

Here is a picture of one of the largest bristlecones we saw and the frozen spring. The date on the pictures is Oct. 19, 1996.

kelli -I'm really late to this one - after beginning to read through, I was in agreement with hellnzn11, but see that we missed it...they are amazing and nearly as amazing were the huge juniper berries/trees..
nice sight...

I have never been there but it sounds interesting.

Who else has one now or Kelly, you world traveler? Lets see another one. Has any of you ever been to pagosa springs Co., they have these natural mineral springs that you can go in and each one has a different temperature from warm to almost scolding. I went in the winter and it was so cool to sit out in the evening and see the reflection of the river that runs by it and snow all around your steamming breath in the cold, while youy sit relaxing in hot egg smelling water.

I've been through there, on my way to what I think is the best 'unknown' national monument, the Great Sand Dunes Nat. Monument. No golfing or hot spring baths, though.LOL

Is it in the four corners region?

The other way, past Alamosa

What is the name of this waterfall?

Claypa - Last year I checked out the Sand Dunes NM on line, found a fair no of pics and information. It sounds perfect to me. few people and accomodations usually suits me and my tent just fine. LOL But I never ddi go on a camping trek this year.

Kelli is it in N. Ca.?

Multnomah Falls along the Columbia?

angel falls?

isn't Angel Falls in Peru?

Not northern CA, Multnomah Falls, or Angel Falls. (Don't know if there is an Angel Falls in Peru.)

West coast? Seattle area?
kiska

West Coast, but not Seattle area

Oregon?

Not Oregon ..................................

I thought there was an angel fals at Yosemite? I asked my dh and he said yes so I thought it was that. Is there not one there?

how about Sentinel Falls at Yosemite?
Or is Yosemite considered Ncal?
I googled the list of falls and found no Angel at Yosemite.

Is it in the Cascade Range?

near Mt. Rainier?

I think Yosemite is considered northern CA. I know that it is not considered southern CA. The term central CA is not used very often, usually just central coast or Central Valley. But anyways, it isn't Yosemite (regardless of the crowd), the Cascade Range, or near Mt. Rainier.

Somewhere on the Olympic peninsula?

Holy Jim Falls?

Not on the Olympic Peninsula. Not Holy Jim Falls.

aw come on Kiwi, tell us - WHERE is Holy Jim Falls? I love its name.
/;-)

BC, canada?

No, not Canada.

west coast of Washington state?

Bristlecone Pine Forest; Big Pine Ca; Sierra's

Not Washington, not the Bristlecone Forest, not in the Sierras.

How about in the Los Padres Nat. Forest?

Pfeiffer Falls in Big Sur?

Neither of those, but Los Padres has been the closest guess so far.

Hog Pen Springs?

Blooms - Holy Jim Falls is in OC, Southern California. I did a native plant class at Saddleback College down there and this was one of the hikes we did. The road in to the start of the hike is a four wheel drivers dream. Completely unpaved, dry river bed, few fiords, lots of boulders - not something you would expect to see in SoCal ;-)

Here's a link that describes the falls. http://www.localhikes.com/Hikes/HolyJimFalls_4472.asp

Kelli - Are the falls in CA, OR, or WA?

Edited to say: just read Kelli's last post and so it must be in CA! duh
