Name That Location!

Here's one from a hard-drive treasure hunt this evening. Can anyone guess where it's taken?

The United States of America

Oooh,ooooh, I know, its in the western half of the U.S. ! Right? Oh, more specific? How about western Colorado? Well this is just a guess, cuz I've never been down this road, but how about between Colorado NM and Rattlesnake Canyon?

South part of the West Elks/Curecanti area?

This is a bit too vague, so I'll spill the beans. This is not too far from North Clear Creek Falls, the sunlit wall is near Bristol Head, and the valley right below all those gold aspens in the distance is where North Clear Creek flows.

I had it nailed but my trigger pull was too slow. I need to cruise these threads more often.We were camped for a week on a spur off the North Clear Creek road a month ago. Wonderful scenery there. I have some pictures here somewhere...
