Brutus is disallowed for this one.
I believe that's Nope mountain, just outside of the town of Never, in the country of Notgonnadoit. #fearofheights

BTW CD, I didn't mean to steal your thunder with the other thread. Clearly this thread was the inspiration. I've seen that game on another forum, though, and doing it as a game makes it organized and a lot of fun.

I found a good place to ponder.

I guessed Peru for the first one.

And for the last two . . . Alaska?
The place is in the US, near Brutus.  I had not seen that photo before.  It is called "Walter's Wiggles".

Alaska is a good guess, but incorrect.  It's a state few would think to mention really with that scenery.

Some scenes are in France (duh), not those two.  I pulled these off some I posted on FB a while back.

Walter's Wiggles leads up to this trail, which can make you into an Angel if you're not careful.

First guess is the Grand Canyon.  but it doesn't appear to be near the South Rim Village, maybe west of there, closer to Hoover Dam?

Doesn't help that they require you to take a backpack, which can throw off your balance fairly easily if you aren't accustomed to wearing one.

does said required backpack have a parachute, airbag, or both?

I knew BB would nail it, it's an awesome place, I've never done that trail though.  We waded up the Virgin River a half mile or so, that is fascinating, and less dangerous.

Zion is definitely on the bucket list for us for camping and hiking.
