Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Kullaberg63]

Here's the response riddle to @Ugly :

Here we are halfway up a 'peak' with a very short name on the USGS 7.5 quad.

Or, what's the canyoneer's name for the fun, low-tech slot above Skotti's ears?

I don't know the peak but that looks like Scar Tissue down there. Spent a lovely few days in this area last spring! I walked an old mining track up to not far below where you're standing here, but couldn't see any routes up from the DD, maybe you approached from the other direction?

 

[regehr]

ok just checked the maps.. Hog?? Never noticed that before. I would be interested to know how you got there.

 

[Kullaberg63]

Nice! Hog and Scar Tissue!

It was two different trips: For ST we paddled the river and stopped to hike up the canyon.

Hog we (almost) climbed on a backpack in the North Wash canyons coming up from 95 via a route near lower Marinus Canyon

 

[regehr]

ok let's take it out of the desert... name the peak!

@TheMountainRabbit I would say that this is the view from one of the designated campsite alongside the Spencer flat road? 37.73694, -111.44111

You got it!

 

[desertvic]

You got it!

Great! That campsite was just deep cleaned, so whoever is going to camp there first when camping season starts will have a great experience!

Okay, next one - easy.

Escalante Natural Bridge?

 

[desertvic]

Escalante Natural Bridge?

Yes!

 

[Titans]

That was an easy one @desertvic

Name the canyon. Spur of the moment hike after a morning spent in the Google Earth rabbit hole.

For anyone new to playing Guess the Spot : Utah Edition

Simple rules: correctly guess the location of the current photo and when you win, post a new photo for others to guess.
Make sure to use the @ tagging feature when someone wins so they don't forget about the thread.
The additional rule: spots must be within the borders of Utah. Page 1 of this thread.


Next up: following animal trails trying to reach the white sandstone layer in which canyon? We are NOT in the most known fork.

Looking towards the mouth of the canyon:

 

[John Morrow]

"The most known fork" hint throws me. I feel like maybe I have insider info on this? Can I put us in the area with a guess of E Fk. Virgin River? Only canyon with multiple forks in the area of vermillion cliffs I can think of.

Oh wait, is this a "word play" off of the Kulleberg63 Guess the Spot Post?
