I recall a very nice spot about half-way down Salt Creek Canyon that looks like that (in my memory at least). Maybe a little more than half-way down the canyon, a spot with a bunch of cliff dwellings...

 

[Janice]

Yes, you've got it @RyanP. It was one of my favorite spots on our recent trip. I was standing in the cave/alcove behind this, next to a fabulous granary. I was so happy to get this pic of our son enjoying the view.

You're up!

That specific spot is pure magic--one of those places that's just etched into my memory.

Anyone know the general location of this one?

Very cool photo, @Janice

Nope. But not too far off

As a side note- we learned on our visit last fall that Squaw is now officially known as Woodenshoe Canyon.

No. Here's a photo from down in that group of canyons, where I was earlier that day:

Is it near Druid Arch?

Is it near Druid Arch?

Not in the needles (sorry if previous hint was misleading). Those rocks do kind of remind me of the area around druid arch though!

Here's another photo from down in the main canyon:

Could it be taken from Land of Standing Rocks southward toward Ernies Country? I don't see fins but then again there's almost nothing on the horizon either.

You got it! The well-known fins are mostly one canyon over (in Sand Tank Canyon vs Sweet Alice Canyon shown here), so that's why they're out of sight. Unfortunately, it's totally dry down there and tough to get to, so people should just stick to Arches...

Did you descend into Sweet Alice? Looks so awesome in there.

Name what is below me, what the feature is in the center distance and what the feature is extending across the far distance?

So fast @regehr! But for full credit what are the clefts below?
