Anyone know where this is? This was a question for a contest, but I have no ideas...

Hints from the website:
"God-fearing Presbyterians lived here," reported a regional paper. It also wrote of a local east coast town: "For most, it's a toilet stop," but the place is actually a "fascinating town with a charming hinterland." You are in that selfsame hinterland, where the roads are lined with crosses erected in honor of locals killed in World War I. You have driven an hour or so along a loop road that is linked to a larger "fossil trail," and you may want to stop in the exhibition center off Highway 83 for a deeper understanding of the vanished lifeforms and the dynamics that shaped this schist and limestone realm. Continue about 150 miles north and you'll arrive at the island's largest city; the Colorado-sized nation's third largest, it is sistered with an insomniac American metropolis.
A quarter of a century ago, an airline marketed this two-island land with the slogan "It reminds you of Switzerland at one-half the price." If the nation's prosperity has rendered the latter claim obsolete, the former, thankfully, is still true. Whether you choose to clamber up these world-class boulders or not, you'll leave here agreeing with the laconic blogger who chimed, "Man, that's sweet!"
