National Park Mystery Photo 45: A Narrow Passageway

Single file, please, and no passing.

The narrow passageway shown in Mystery Photo #45 is located somewhere in the National Park System. Can you pinpoint this location? To get full credit for this one you need to state the name of the passageway and identify the national park in which it is located.

Readers who answer correctly will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing

The answer will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.

No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any description, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

Lake Chaubunagungamaug, a 1,442-acre lake near the southern Massachusetts  town of Webster, bears an inordinately long name (perhaps the longest place name in the United States) that is often translated as "you fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fishes in the middle."  However, its approximate meaning in Nipmuc (an Algonquian language) is closer to "fishing place at the boundaries -- neutral meeting grounds." This water body is also called Webster Lake, especially by people who don't know how to pronounce Chaubunagungamaug.

I'm afraid that "Daniel Boone National Forest" is not in the ballpark.  Please remember that the mystery photo was taken in a national park, not a national forest.


It's not Fiery Furnace in Arches National Park.


You've narrowed it down to the correct national park, viewmtn.  That's better than anyone else has managed.  Sure I can't convince you to take another shot or two at it? You are one of our stalwarts.


'Way to go, viewmtn; you da man!  That's one.  Anybody else?


Fat Mans Misery Mammoth Cave national Park near Cave City Kentucky. About 30 miles from here


Not Fat Man's Misery in Mammoth Cave National Park.  The mystery photo was not taken in a cave.


Grand wash at Capitol Reef?
