Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[SteveR]

I love this area. It's just perfect. There's water—deep enough to swim, slickrock, and plenty of interesting pockets. Lots of routes that are a bit challenging but most of them go if you try. And it's a long day hike but a very mild backpack.

Yes, our brief sortie from the north was only a teaser, as we wasted a lot of time trying to find a good place to cross Deer Creek. We did find a better route on the way back, for next time...

This has some Kanab vibe to it….. but I can’t get the usual suspects to line up on Google Earth!

Definitely on the right track! A well known destination is just out of sight.

as the tire tracks in the foreground indicate, we drove a very sandy track to get to this point

@desertvic welcome to BCP.

Spencer Canyon. I stayed the night last spring just up and to the right of your photo.
Did you venture down into the canyon?

Good guess! Just south of the easy entrance to Spencer.

Took the picture a couple weeks ago on my way to the ladders. Did not go into spender that time!

We jumped over @Kullaberg63 with a new clue here... But maybe he is out braving the oncoming blizzard doing a quite respectable route in the desert or the Rockies?
