Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Reef&Ruins]

It's been awhile since I have been here, Owl Creek?

No. Keep going further north.

Dark Canyon?

I was holding off on guessing because I leave on a plane this evening for the weekend...
Cave Towers.
Except it was sunny last week when I was there, and my wife nearly stepped on a rattlesnake.

 

[SteveR]

I knew that I recognized that spot, but just couldn't place it!

 

[Ugly]

Since my time is short and we have three almost exact pics...

Trying to not be too hard, but the river would be too easy. Where am I?

 

[Reef&Ruins]

@Ugly is correct!
When I was there with my son, he almost stepped on a rattlesnake. Maybe the same one?

Isle in the Sky?

 

[Ugly]

Isle in the Sky?

No, not Canyonlands

 

[SteveR]

Would that river be the Dirty Devil?

No, not the Dirty Devil River.

This is not taken from the normal access trail to a well known place, as most people access north- camera left- or sneak out south.

Haven't been there, but based on your last TR I will throw out a general guess.... somewhere in the area of Crack-in-the Wall & Coyote Gulch?

You're in the right river system now

You are headed to the Golden Cathedral via the "direct" route. Not the one that we took that involved multiple wades of the Escalante.

Same butte in the background as in your photo.

@SteveR
There you go! right above Neon... And everyone can keep going to Neon, there is nothing else around there worth the hike... The Golden Cathedral was basically a dog park last year.

We were there in 2009, and met no one else other than a group headed to Choprock!

Perhaps Upper Muley Twist?

Well that was easy! Take it away, Jackson!
