Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #15
looking across Stanley Lake to McGowan Peak

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Lake - you cropped the lake from the picture but kept the tree line in view, as seen in the main picture in the wiki.

You mentioned a fur trapper, which the town of Stanley is named for (as you lot say, rather than the English, named after)

A fishy river was mentioned and the Stanley Lake empties into the Salmon River. These supported my hypothesis further.

You got it partly correct, Wessie. However, the river in question is the Payette, named after the fur trader. The photo was taken about 80 miles from the mountain photo. I didn't crop anything like Stanley Lake from the photo...the terrain undulations did that.

I must say...that bot did a fairly credible job. However, Stanley was named after a Civil War veteran who was leading a party of prospectors through the area. Subtract 1 point from the bot.

Well, at least my guess was based on being familiar with the local countryside and not a bot. Should be as I live near a town named for an indigenous chieftan not so far away from there. Lovely country though. Thanks for the spring time photos.
