Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Titans]

Well, not so easy @Henk ! How about the 4WDR road via Salt Creek to Peekaboo CG?

 

[Henk]

That's exactly what it is!

I thought it would be an easy guess anyway and moreover with the post "When might the road to Salt Creek TH be ok?" just changing place before and below it for a while i'm surprised it took so long.

You are up @Titans !

Johns Canyon??

Johns Canyon??

Not John's Canyon. Here is another view, this time looking downstream. It's probably more known for the upper part of the canyon which is a backpacking favorite of many, requires difficult to get permits for overnight stays and it takes a few days to backpack through the entire canyon. The lower part of the drainage (this photo) is also a dirt road. But it's closed so much that few ever get a chance to drive it! Frustrating, but the photo shows why the road gets closed after substantial flash flood damage:

The Barracks?

The Barracks?

No. Think more NNE direction of your John's canyon guess.

 

[Henk]

Salt Creek?

 

[Titans]

Salt Creek?

YES! That was sneaky, as it was the same one you posted last time

 

[Henk]

Many years ago the Salt Lake Tribune used to have an Outdoor Section wherein Editor Brett Prettyman ran a weekly column called "where is it?".

For this photo a slightly different question : "where WAS it?

 

[Henk]

It once was a bridge in South Eastern Utah that connected to an interesting site and, moreover, used to be a shortcut for the people from the other side to reach a school or hospital.

 

[John Morrow]

I'll start off with a guess that the river is the Virgin River?

 

[deelek]

I believe that is the San Juan River and trail on the south side to 17 Room Ruin

 

[Henk]

It was indeed the suspension bridge over the San Juan River, a couple of miles east of Bluff.
The Ruin at the other side is kwown as 14, 16 or 17 Room Ruin or as Casa del Echo.
we visited the place in 2005, the bridge was destroyed by a flood in 2007, and sofar not rebuild.
@deelek you are up!

That looks like the 276 area...

 

[XID_AZ]

For sure, the Upper Muley Twist. Just can't tell if you're on the road or hiking a little bit off it.

 

[deelek]

That is correct @XID_AZ. I think I was slightly off the road. You're up.

 

[XID_AZ]

Name this canyon running diagonally in the center of the picture.

 

[regehr]

well, I don't know but is that maybe some Abajos behind a Cedar Mesa canyon?
