Guess where Western States

I know where the troll is. We drove over that bridge and drank down the road from that troll many times.

So, where is the troll? And what does the troll have in his left hand?

If it were up to me it would be a beer instead of a bug, lol.

Under the Freemont Bridge and a VW Beattle. This would be near your old stopping grounds I think. There was a newer for me brewery last time we stopped by with people that hadn't seen the troll. The last time we were in this area was helping a friend move his kid over to UW.

correct. And it's an actual VW Beetle. With a CA license plate, as I recall.

This photo of mine taken October 24 was published in The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Wish I Was There feature. Can you guess where?

Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP in Colorado?

It kind of looks like somewhere I don't remember in Zion Park.

I don't know the exact locale, but that relatively flat upper surface of limestone means that it's an incised canyon complex in the Colorado Plateau. However, there aren't any red rocks exposed under the limestone, so that puts it on the eastern side of the Plateau. Gunnison certainly fits those criteria.

And googling, here is picture of the Gunnison Black Canyon. Looks like the same locale.

Yes!
Black Canyon of the Gunnison. I am so glad we took the long way from Grand Junction to Moab to be able to visit this national park. The entrance north of Montrose had only recently reopened following July's devastating wildfire. My photo shows only one of the amazing Vistas along the loop road.
