Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Pukwudgie]

Russell Gulch is off to the right not in photo. This is the approach for the Subway top down, and is a zone worth visiting in and of itself.

This is looking the other way. A nice spot.

This may be a little obscure so I'll give a hint. I'm standing on top of the "escape route" for the feature below

Are you just barely to the west of the Chinle trail? Would the Chinle trail be right up above those small cliffs on the left? If it's the drainage I'm thinking of, I'm not sure of the name.

Yes. The huber wash is below. A 20' dryfall blocks progress from the bottom up so this weakness allows access up to the plateau above and connection to the Chinle trail.
@priz1234 you're up!

What is the name of this popular area I am looking at. If you look closely you can actually see a decent number of people.

The angle and elevation threw me a little but I was confident I was looking at the Pine Valley mountains beyond the ridge

Three named peaks are in this photo. How many can you name?

Gonna say East Triplet, The Fin, Nippletop. I hope so, visible west face of Triplet was tricky for me near the base, almost scary. Fin was fun on the north skyline. I think they look right.

The photo was taken with my telephoto lens from the summit of Peak 4620.

Nippletop peak, the triplets and lost peak. I've been up to the top of Nippletop and one of the triplets but still need to get up to lost peak. Looks like @John Morrow beat me to it. Was typing my response as his response came in. I'll need to get to the top of the peak you were standing on in this photo too.

 

[John Morrow]

Go ahead and take it @priz1234!

Don't think I've really seen any canyoneering photos in this thread. What canyon is this?

My bad...there were actually four. Lost teton is in front of lost peak at the bottom. This was from the top of hepworth or roof. I can't remember which. Both were quad killers!
