Coyote Buttes Utah

[Seldom Seen Anderson]

I compare a lot of things to Coyote Buttes/White Pocket but literally this is the closest thing I have found in Southern Utah with one added bonus scenic drop offs and deep canyons. While this place is not "undiscovered" as we saw footprints on occasion, there is very little online and because of this I will not really give too much detail in this TR. Many will easily be able to pinpoint where this is and I am more than willing to share via PM. Please forgive me for how many pics, I COULDNT NARROW IT DOWN!!!






Here is the TR...

A couple sundays ago I called my brother in law up and asked if he wanted to go explore an area that I thought would be pretty epic. Not knowing for sure what we would encounter I was a bit apprehensive, I dont usually invite many people when i am unsure how legendary a place will be.

We left Hurricane at 7AM and after about a 40 minute drive arrived at where we would park. We quickly hiked/ran across the pinyon forest to the edge where I hoped we would find a sandstone playground. To my delight after months of looking off my balcony at the red cliffs to the north and after scouring google earth I was rewarded!

The place was AMAZING!!


































After 3-4 hours of exploration and lots and lots of pictures we had to leave. I only saw a fraction of what the area has and for sure will be back.

I played a bit in one of the neighboring canyons the past weekend. The whole area has so much to offer.
Great shots and hopefully one of the next weekends I'll explore a bit of your area.
I'm wondering if there eventually is a connection between the two areas, but I guess it would be a steep descend and climb.

Stunning! What an awesome spot, and that is definitely not too many photos!

Very nice series of photos. I would love to visit that area with my spouse and camera.
Any chance of getting some info on how to find that striking location?

Thank you.

Thx for your pictures! :twothumbs:
That's a cool playground for a sandstone junkie like me.
