Guess the spot: Utah Edition

Some more Windgate goodness.

Kind of looks like Hunter Canyon.

It's not Hunter Canyon. This one sees a lot less foot traffic it's kind of off the radar as far as I know.

I feel like a jackass, there has been no interest in this spot. Maybe I need more clues?

 

[Rockskipper]

That's how spots go sometimes. People get busy etc. It usually has nothing to do with the spot itself. But you can always give some clues. Things seem slow in general around here right now.

I was the only one guessing there for a bit and I don't know much about E of Moab (beyond Granstaff Canyon) except for Fisher Towers and this isn't that area.

After much Google Earth searching, I've settled on Burro Canyon. The layers poking out near the canyon head gave me the right area to zero in on. If it's not Burro, then it's gotta be very close.

Peak season on the Colorado Plateau probably has some people out, while the rest of us up north or back east are just waiting for the Rockies to melt and dry out so we can get out there. Haha.

Plus I just don't know the Colorado Plateau as well as most of the people on this thread so I look briefly and move on if I'm clueless.

Yes, Burro Canyon it is. I wasn't too worried and assumed/hoped people are in the backcountry. "Jackass" was supposed to be a cryptic clue. Good work. Burro is a pretty canyon that takes a bit of work to get into. You're up @XID_AZ

It was definitely a blank area on the map for me before I did this hike last year. They run a bunch of cattle over there from what I can tell. It's pretty though and there is water in the canyons which is always nice.

Looks like I need to explore the Moab area more, been seeing a lot of nice places here and on YouTube, but been avoiding the area because of the crowds. Looks like there are still plenty of places over there to get away from everyone.

Where is this?

 

[John Morrow]

Moqui?

Moqui?

Not Moqui, but I thought it might draw that response.

I don't recognize it as any of the sandslides I've hiked in Escalante River, hmm....

 

[Pukwudgie]

I think I might know the spot. I'll let someone else guess though. Does this canyon share a name with a couple nearby features?
