Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Rockskipper]

That's where I started, and I've even been up there, but I can't figure out what you were going to see. There're some petroglyphs nearby, but other than that, I don't know, unless it's that deep pothole on the far edge. But when I go places, I tend to get lost a lot in the minor stuff and lose the bigger picture, so this may be one of those times.

@Rockskipper from Uranium Arch go a bit Northeast

NE of uranium is east of 191

 

[Rockskipper]

I just assumed he meant NW, maybe not.

This is some impressively niche Guess the Spot action here. We've got an almost precise location on a map and still no one knows it haha.

to win you have to be +- 1 on both UTMs

Fine, it's Delta Pool. Apparently not that well-known.

@Udink finally got it right! your turn..

Sorry about another east/west confusion, we Europeans (@Michael and myself) seem to have lost the feeling for what is West or East and start mixing it up.

For me, maybe, it was because it was well after midnight, and despite being already tired, couldn't stop listening to CNN, and got distracted and confused by a "unprecendented and unpresidential telephone call" that could easily overshadow the legacy of Tricky Dick.

 

[Rockskipper]

I knew there was a big pothole there, but didn't know what it was called. Take it away, @Udink!

After "flying" over the Needles and more to search for @John Morrow 's earlier contribution i discovered that also the area around Moab is very detailed in Google Earth, so now i'm hooked! Starting at Determination Towers and flying North you will see this after a while

Kind of looks like Fishlake Hightop

 

[LarryBoy]

Looks like Navajo Mtn in the back.

Not Fishlake Hightop, but almost directly south of there.

Looks like Navajo Mtn in the back.

That is indeed, it's almost 75 miles distant.

 

[LarryBoy]

It looks like the Hells Backbone area to me, but not really sure.

 

[John Morrow]

sweet badlands.

 

[Rockskipper]

Is this around Powell Point somewhere?

Yes! Taken directly at Powell Point, looking out over Highway 12 (visible just left of center) toward Canaan Peak.

Powell Point and environs is such a cool spot. I know Utah's got a lot of gems, but I'm kinda surprised that it's as overlooked as it is.

 

[Rockskipper]

@John Morrow I like the name Sweet Badlands. I need to discover some badlands that need naming.

OK, though a little hazy, this location is actually very obvious if you look at the clues. Name the mesa this was taken from.

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Rockskipper Mesa? Hahahahahaha.
