Guess the spot

[Mullet]

Range creek

Range creek

Nope. Much further south.

 

[Nick]

Another hint.

 

[Artemus]

Those black boulders look like the ones in Sand Creek or I think I remember some like that in 50 mile creek too.

Pretty dang close with one of those guesses. There is definitely one particular area where those black, basalt boulders are quite common in the canyons below.

 

[Henk]

Boulder Creek?

 

[Nick]

Boulder Creek?

Correct! From this trip:

You're up @Henk.

 

[Henk]

This is the start of which Canyon?

 

[Nick]

Looks like the geology of Sand Creek. Is that close?

 

[Michael]

Big Horn from Spencer Flat rd?

Michael you are absolutely right, you must be familiar with the other Michael as well!

The photograph above shows what "The Author" calls "SMALL BUTTE" the 4th Ed of his Canyon Hiking Guide to the Colorado Plateau.
It helped me to find the place many years ago.
The B&W Kelsey guides never appealed to me, but after buying that first one and discovering the wealth of information they contain i've bought every new issue of all of them, a must have for everybody who only has has limited time slots to explore the Southwest!

Your turn Michael!

 

[Michael]

Thank you, Henk.
This 'Small Butte', I call him 'Cube', is a good trail marker.
I own all MRK's guide books. They are a great source for me and I love 'The Author's' kind of writing.

You gotta be kidding Alien ! You posted a picture of a tree ?!?! How am I supposed to get this one? It looks like a tree. I guess it is a tree at the Escalante/Dirty Devil Confluence. It looks like ~10% of the other 445,671 Cottonwoods I have admired.

Just joshin' you of course. Happy Holidays over there in Germany.

 

[Michael]

Did you have counted right, Artemus?
Just 445,671 Cottonwoods?
But no one is sooo beautiful like this one.

Over there is no Escalante, no Dirty Devil and no water.

 

[Artemus]

But no one is sooo beautiful like this one.

You going to pick a cottonwood and a date under which I am going to meet you again this spring this year? Sounds like a romantic interlude..

i think this every time there's a new photo here: 'looks like a canyon in southern utah'. thanks guys. : )

 

[Ben]

next, in 'guess the spot: not utah edition'

 

[Scott Chandler]

The cliff behind looks like it may belong in Capital Reef? Maybe Moab area? There are plenty of sandstone cliffs in Utah but that is the vibe I'm getting.

Maybe pal, if you have the right time management.
This is a little beautiful canyon. Different geological layer are to see and colors too.
A hidden arch is on the top - hard to reach, perfect for you.
And yes it's a romantic place, met a landscape paintress there.
It's in Utah of course in the corner of Moab and Capital Reef, like Scott has mentioned.
