Thank you.
What beautiful (I think because, as you can see, there wasn't much of a view) place was I this lovely day?

I am in the Arthurs.

I am not on the side of Hesperus.
I couldn't even see the side of Hesperus from where I was standing.

I'm thinking you're looking at Mt Picked On so you'd be somewhere in the Eastern Arthurs. Boiler Plates?

Good theory,

That is Mounty Picked-On, but I'm not on the Boiler plates. (Nor in the EA's)

Fixed typo.

Nice!

I'm at the saddle just north of the Phoenix.

That little plateau just east of it would make a great little campsite, though wouldn't be the most protected from the weather.

Are you on the Southern Range, sidling the Hills and looking over Moores Bridge to one of the Reservoir Lakes?

The only other narrow, clear ridge like that I can think of is Wylly Plateau connection to Victoria Cross, but there's no lake beyond that.
Unless you're on La Perouse looking back at Pigsty?
