Guess the spot: Utah Edition

The walls are so vertical. My memory of Stevens, Fold, Scorpion is that they are broader. Pretty sure Coyote is vertical walled wingate so that is out. This one is a toughy! Cool area. You must be in Navajo though it is quite dark appearing. Those giant meanders are cut through the kayenta. Maybe that is the mainstem Escalante but I can't place a side canyon.

The floor of the canyon (not shown yet) is in some beautiful Wingate.
 
The first two shots are at the head of this canyon up on the bench and the last one is near the mouth of this beautiful side canyon. There are some moki steps on a rock near the center of the last photo.
 
nope, I'm wrong. I forgot about that third photo with the tight vertical meanders. I haven't been there but Fools makes more sense
 
now I'm trying to trace SA C3 descriptions along Google Earth and crossreferencing the 7.5 min topo. Ichabod? But it is inspiring me...sort of

This is my favorite pastime. I would consider Ichabod "seldom" visited. Further downstream.
 
How can it be Stevens? What are you descending? I'm tired of trying to follow Allen! Too many similar looking transet elevations, weird digressions! Bsker trail is miles up canyon...
Is the natural bridge alcove beyond the cottonwood? with the poison ivy slope?

try page 220. I used this route on a hike up to Tadpole Mesa... or something like that:)
 
unbelievable! I'm exhausted....thanks for the peek into that amazing canyon system. Travelling through it once is obviously not enough time there.
@norwegianxplorer why don't you take it, Moodys are as close as I would have gone before leapfrogging you! I could use a breather. Plus, I need to go check out Pg 220!

You got it though, it's Stevens. I'm new to this game and wasn't sure if this one was gonna be easy or hard. I was curious if people would be familiar with this route.
