United States ...
North Fork Lone Pine Creek
traversing the North face of Mt Whitney
(reaching the summit of the 48 states on skins is a bit unusual)

I love Montana! We can never be specific 'cause the hordes will rush in, right?
Anyways per your question Butterscotch: Eastern Beartooths outside of Red Lodge.
And by the looks of the snow pack its gonna be a smokey summer.
Thanks. I would have guessed the Beartooths.
And of course! Gotta keep the hordes out. Btw, the correct answer to my question was "Colorado".
We heard you in our twilight caves, one hundred fathom deep below, for notes of joy can pierce the waves, that drown each sound of war and woe.
Not super scenic, but I love skin tracks that start out straight, go into walk-arounds, then turn into a series of ever tightening kick turn switchbacks like this:
Probably not the most efficient way to get up Terminal Cancer, but after comfortably skinning the apron and bottom third of it, then eeking out the second third, it was a matter of principle to skin the entire thing - 400cm wide at 37 degrees for about 1,000' vertical. I wish I'd kept track of the switchbacks as there were probably 100+ of them.
