Correct RegDep
Heber City, a short drive from Park City where I was enjoying a ski holiday some years ago (OK many years ago....). Got bored with skiing and drove to Heber City on a clear day and rented a C172 within 60 minutes of just turning up. (but I did at that time have an FAA licence too.)
Fantastic 90 minutes flying along one valley towards Salt Lake City over the ski resorts then back in through another valley over Alta and Arapahoe ski resorts. One of the most spectacular flights I ever did.
An added bonus was spotting a P51 being polished in a hangar and not only helping but chewing the cud with its enthusiastic owner. Happy times.
Heber City Airport is the closest to Sundance and once a year when the film festival is on it is host to many expensive private and corporate jets. Elevation 5300ft or therabouts.
A stunning part of the world....
RegDep, you have control.

No idea what the Demoiselle-looking creature is. The caption says 'Impounded RAF Lancasters and a Mosquito behind them'. And it is in Sweden.
Edit: Found the picture in another site and it says "Monoplane M1". Go figure.
The text says that there should be an FFV Ö 1 Tummelisa between the second Lancaster and the Mosquito. Cannot see that clearly.

A little `googling ; M 1 and M2 were the 2 Swedish Army monoplanes in 1913,so that may be it between the Lancs; no idea if it was Swedish made,or a copy of possibly a Morane.Tummeliten/lisa were biplanes produced later,designed/built in Sweden,as trainers.The last one last flew in `62 and now in a Museum,but a replica was built by Mikkal Carlson ,he who had the landing accident in his Fokker Triplane at Duxford on Sunday.. ed; it may be `head-on` just by the far Lanc`s stbd wheel..
ed2,no idea where though...

Correct, Mr Grubby.
There is a website that attributes this picture to Rinkaby in Skåne, Sweden, and another that attributes it to Malmslätt /Malmen in Östergötland.
I believe the latter. One of the Lancasters had originally landed in Rinkaby on 13 Jan 1945, the other in Kalmar on 30 Aug 1944.
Ndlandare frn Storbritannien - RAF
Closest to camera Lancaster Mk.I PB842, then Monoplanet M 1, Lancaster Mk.III PB379/G, Ö 1 Tummelisa and Mosquito PR Mk.IX LR435/G.
These aeroplanes appear to have been displayed in an air-show in summer 1945, hence the exotic combination of types.
Over to you!
