Guess the spot: Maps Edition

Well, now you're just back up!

But I thought some people might not know about the Mars Desert Research Station!
 
Found it on Google Maps... near the Escalante River, but I don't know what the area is called and I've never been there. Looks really cool... do we have any trip reports from this?

It doesn't have a name, so that's close enough. :) That's the Escalante you can barely see in the top, and Highway 12 in the lower-right corner.
 
Castle Valley. Round Mountain is in the center.
 
I'm going to assume I'm right and post...

Just heard back from a friend that our permits are confirmed for a summer backpacking trip through this area. Where is it? :)

...hights above 10k and permits - Zion area? :)

I give up. Based on the glaciers and the hint that you needed permits, I figured it was Glacier. But I couldn't find it there, so I thought maybe you were doing something on the Reservation in the Winds. I can't find it there.
 
Ooopss...as soon as I zoomed out on the map I realized that I was actually in ANOTHER place just last weekend that requires a permit, runs north to south, and has glaciers...and you're going to Death Canyon in the Tetons.
 
We dayhiked Death Canyon once...it was great. That was the first time we realized that the Tetons were much more than just the narrow mountain range they look like from the valley floor.
