yes NH and yes WH.

The place I am is not a city. It's in the category of "superlative, man-made" ...meaning it's at the top of the heap in its category.

nope, neither of those. This is a man-made structure and something about it has that "superlative" category going for it.

nope. Look about 100 miles S.E. of Pearl Pass...and I think Aspen is just a few miles north of Pearl Pass. This place has a superlative man-made object here, not just a cool natural place.

I'll wait for Tul to make another guess and if you guys are still lost I'll tell you what kind of structure it is....that will greatly narrow down the choices. But I am getting dizzy standing here looking down.
