Next up. I'm cheating just a tiny bit with this one because I wasn't in Utah when I took the photo.

I think that's Colorado border crossing near Aneth.

Henk gets it!

 

[Reef&Ruins]

We also had bad weather there. Temp drop of 40 degrees as drove into a cloud burst.

What's the name of this area?
From here one can make a most interesting hike through the canyon below, especially when there is shuttle car at the other end .

 

[Jackson]

Reminds me of passing over the north side of the Salmon outside Capitol Reef, but the mountains in the background don't line up as far as I can tell.

It's a lot more east!

 

[Udink]

Sort of reminds me of Mill Creek, but I can't match up any of the features to the sat imagery.

Your memory did a very good job, now tell me what's the name of the place at the top!

 

[John Morrow]

Johnsons on Top? , I was just near that point I believe: but maybe not...

Climbing onto Johnson's a few years ago:

You got it @John Morrow!
The full name is "Johnson's Up On Top"
A bit of background on Moab Happenings Archive

Guess my rhyming hint was an extra help, but i couldn't resist!
If not i would have posted a pic of the crack with a bit more of the LaSals as in your pics as a further hint.

Udink deserves at least half the credit on that one! There are riches in that canyon, was that your focus?

I am always on the look out for cool dunes. Happy to find these. Call this shallow canyon and dune by the tourist feature at its terminous, or get in the area.

 

[Henk]

Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch?

 

[regehr]

I'll go with the dune area that drains into Harris through the Zebra slot

Bingo, regehr! Probably too obvious, but it was my first visit there. You are up...

Hiked past those dunes just a few weeks ago. There's really nothing to see there, just go to Zebra like everybody else!

Exactly, especially not this:

I'mma say if they're not named on the USGS map (as opposed to, say, a Kelsey or Allen book?), they're not named. But, let's guess Horsethief Trail? And if that's correct, did you see the petroglyphs on the boulder to the west?
