Guess the spot: Utah Edition

How about Gypsum?

No. This is not a Colorado River trib.

John's Canyon?

John's Canyon?

Closest guess so far!

 

[SteveR]

East Slickhorn?

 

[gnwatts]

Which East Slickhorn, as there are really 4 canyons that make up Slickhorn Canyon.
Maybe Point Lookout?

 

[Jackson]

Kinda reminds me of the lower reaches of main Slickhorn.

There are more than four canyons that make up Slickhorn. Rangers at Kane Creek number them up to Slickhorn 8, I believe, starting from the north end. But regardless, @Jackson takes this one. This is just above the confluence of Slickhorn and the ol Muddy in lowest Main Slickhorn.

 

[gnwatts]

I stand corrected.

 

[Jackson]

What peak am I standing on here?

If not Olympus, something pretty nearby

Ugh nevermind, it's gotta be Raymond.

I think you're right, but I'll vulture on Triangle Peak, just in case.

Good call -- now we've covered all possible named peaks!
Gonna assume Jackson isn't mean enough to go for "peak 9776" or similar

For the record, I've also got Fremont Peak in my corner

 

[Jackson]

Loved that dialogue. @regehr got it with Mount Raymond.

 

[regehr]

ok! identify the canyon containing this large (unnamed, IIRC) arch

@Jackson is the Raymond shot from this past weekend? I didn't manage to get out and don't know how much snow there was at 10,000'.

In any case, the little knifey section on the way up from Baker Pass must have been a bit exciting with a shallow snow cover.

It's from last November, actually. Probably more snow was on the ground then than now. It was a little tricky, but we got through that bit with no traction devices and minimal complications, fortunately and maybe surprisingly. Would've been rough without gloves to keep hands warm when grasping at snowy rocks though! Glad we had those.

I'm sure at least a few of you here have seen this arch, but I think I had to hike up partway to it to get this photo.
The canyon is in the San Rafael Swell.
