I made some changes to the Hot Spots section, creating pages for all of the RMNP states. The CO section is currently the only one with destinations, so if you've got a location and a few pics from one of the other states that you'd like to share, check out the Hot Spots page where there's information on submitting a write-up.

Nice updates Rick! Thanks a lot
I am most interested to check out the Twin Sisters trail perspective of the eastern side view of Longs Peak and Chasm Lake. Has anyone here taken any photos from that perspective?
I would be really interested in seeing what it looks like. Also how far does one need to snow shoe in before getting a decent view of Longs and potentially Chasm Lake?
But the from the quality of the image it is hard to tell very much. A decent telephoto on a tripod look mandatory along with snow shoes.

If you need a resend of my Arches Hotspot article, I can easily get it over to you, Rick. I have it in black on white a la the CNP articles if that helps.

Great suggestion, Scott - thanks! I'll pull those in. Les - I should be able to take it right from the other site, but if I need a copy, I'll let you know.
Stacy Egan has already provided a hot spot for Arizona (which I should have posted in a day or so) and is working on several others. I've got a couple in the works for Wyoming and Montana. Hopefully we'll have something for all states soon. I'd really like to see something for the Frank Church / River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. Anyone, anyone...?
Derek - sorry, I can't help with your question. You may want to post the question in a separate thread to get more eyes on it. Folks who have already read this thread may not check back again...

I have a Capitol Reef article half-done; I should be able to post it in a couple of weeks after my assignment is completed.

Hi Rick,
I have a Grand Teton Photo Map online at http://www.wyofoto.com/Teton_Photo_Map.htm
It probably would serve as a good resource for a Teton hot spot.
Feel free to link to it.

Sounds great, Les! I'll look forward to seeing it soon!

Hi Miles,
We'd love to have some content for the Tetons. We prefer not to link to external sites; historically, we've had problems with links changing, sites going away, etc. If you'd like to e-mail me the images, I'd be happy to put together the hotspot page. A short writeup is optional, but if you'd like, feel free to provide some text and I'll include that as well. Your name and site will be listed in the hotspot, giving you credit as the author.

You should grab the Arches N.P. (by Les Barstow) and Lake Powell and Glen Canyon (by Dave Rodenbaugh) from the old SWNP site.

I did find one photo of the perspective here after doing a google search:
