Let's play a game! Colorado wheeling location edition.

I know not the best picture but any guesses

 

Looks like that last little turn on Tincup pass.

 

Yep your up

 

To give this a bump, I'll throw a guess out there... North Fork Swan River.

 

Nope. Thanks for playing!

 

How about a hint?

 

There is a "Glacier" in the photo! ; )

 

Hmm...



There are more than 135 permanent snow or ice bodies mapped in Colorado, but only 7 of these are larger than 0.1 km2. Colorado has 14 named glaciers - all in the Front Range, most significantly in Rocky Mountain National Park. The total area of all the mapped snow and ice bodies in Colorado is about 4.8 km2. The seven regions containing Colorado’s glaciers are examined further below.

Most glaciers and snowfields in Colorado occur in east- to north-facing cirques at high elevations near the ridge crests. These locations favor snow accumulation from avalanches and windblown snow in the winter, and are well-shaded from summer sun. It is highly unlikely that any of Colorado's glaciers could exist today without the benefit of these local topographic effects. Many of the features appear to feed rock glaciers, and the area of debris-covered ice in the state may be significantly larger than that of exposed clean ice.

 

We need work on our hints.

 

Front Range. I'm sure everyone here has been there! (At least once!)

 

You gotta try harder!

 

marys glacier?

 

I haven't been there, but it looks like you're near Yankee Hill facing West with St. Mary's Glacier in the background.

 

Let's let @dmurph1996 win since I don't have any more photos.

 

well these are my last photos too. Got lots of photos of the campsites once we get to the destination but not so much while on the trail.

The gatekeeper:

 

MSV?

 

and that was short lived. You're up good sir

 

Interesting line you had to take at the gatekeeper. I wonder if it changed since I went last year or if my 1st gen just doesn't hang as low and I was able to go a lot more straight through. (No sliders, no skids)

 

YOU SIR ARE CORRECT! Next up!
