Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[John Morrow]

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.

Great contribution, not the first time a spot was posted by someone, from a place that I had actually been in, and yet I couldn't recognize it. Why we never tire of southern Utah!

some places I visit stick in my brain forever, others are just gone, even later the same day, as my family will tell you based on the number of times I've missed a critical turn on the home stretch of a day hike

You’re up John

copy, here we go:

well I don't know this location but it has a Capitol Reefy vibe so I'm going to throw out lower Spring Canyon

 

[John Morrow]

We're off to a good start based on "feel". Reefy indeed, correct park. Pretty sure this is a favorite place of a prominent bcp.com personality

Pectol's Pyramid? @WasatchWill is definitely the BCP member I associate most with Capitol Reef, and I believe Ephraim Pectol is the person he's related to through his wife.

You're pretty comparable to @WasatchWill in Cap Reefland, I'd say, @Jackson

Funny, never even thought of it but there is quite the resemblance to Pectol's! But this is a more prominent canyon

It honestly looks like a non-traditional angle (usual approach) of Golden Throne but I feel dumb posting this....

Shouldn't feel dumb, it has the same layering as looking up at Golden Throne from within Capitol Gorge. Getting closer....

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Is it in Grand Wash?

…so it isn’t Ferns Nipple?

Unnamed. Here is a view upcanyon from a mile or so downcanyon of the above pic. (pics are a few years apart). I guess I should have mentioned, "name the canyon"

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Hmmm... so I guess it isn't Grand Wash then... kind of looks like it, which it should because you are in Cap Reef!

 

[regehr]

is there a part of Cohab that looks like this? it's been forever since I was in there and don't remember at all

 

[John Morrow]

travel south. Aclarification. When I said "unnamed' I was referring to the pinnacle. This canyon is named on all maps.

This canyon features a couple nice narrows:

Looks like a bit of Sheets.

Just a little! You're up @Michael. Each time I look through Sheets pics I realize how interesting and unknown it seems to remain. A little dryfall grotto on the north side about 4 miles up from Notom TH has some reliable water as well as often somewhere in the wash at the chinle/wingate margin (I've seen dry and wet). Someday I'll loop it with Oak Creek or maybe Pleasant though Pleasant lower an upper I've spent a good amount of time in.

This is the upper part of a long drainage with multiple and huge potholes. This drainage is unnamed and bordered by a prominent canyon in the north and a very scenic one in the south.
Name one of the canyons.

 

[Titans]

Pleasant creek is south of it.
