Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Rockskipper]

I was also thinking Dirty D, maybe close to the big pond.

I would guess Dirty-D country, but I can't place this exact scene.

On the right track. I’m pretty sure that there has been a shot from close to this exact spot somewhere in this thread

 

[Udink]

The area between Larry Canyon and Bull Pasture?

 

[o2bav8]

Another hint perhaps....

 

[Brendan S]

Ah sorry was out for the last post and missed it upon my return...hint is somewhere between @Udink and @Rockskipper guesses

Hatch?

Hatch?

Verrrrrrry close

Fiddler Cove?

 

[Brendan S]

Fiddler Cove?

Yes, top of the drop in to Fiddler Cove

Btw, killer short packraft loop (with short bike shuttle) is up rock canyon, over the Block, drop down into FC, boat down to ~confluence with the CO

Wait do you actually go over the Block itself? Isn't that like full-on fifth class?

There are at least a couple non-tech routes (I think there are published routes on south and east side but there are more).

What canyon does froggy live in?

Wait a sec, I'm trying to visualize this route and having trouble. From the head of Rock Canyon it's a fairly direct line NNW to the old cattle trail dropping into FC near where it meets Hatch. How does going over the Block come into this? Seems waaay out of the way.

Getting up onto the Block was one of my early S Utah trips close to 20 years ago, the views from up there really blew me away. I need an excuse to go back!

Maybe out of the way but if you just want to get to the dirty devil quickly in the area might as well just drive down poison springs...walking over the Block is way more fun (while making a fairly tidy loop)! I did that loop as an overnighter with silly low water, so not really that out of the way (though some tricky navigation)

Next...

Navajo Mountain looking northward?

Kinda more NW (looking down Cliff Canyon), you’re up!

Coyote Natural Bridge, Coyote gulch.

Dud a day hike from 40 mile ridge , up The sneaker route and back. Good fun.
