Nice try, it is not on the Emigrant Trail. It is on a named trail however.

My other thought that it reminded me of was Surprise Valley area of the Rainbow Trail below Navajo mtn.

Solid guess but wrong mountains.

Not far enough south and not the Henrys.

I think it looks very Glen Canyon-ish, with Navajo sandstone domes and Navajo mountain. Is it south of the San Juan?

That’s close enough. It’s looking across the Great Bend of the San Juan towards Navajo Mtn from the north side. The river is there in the foreground and passes back through further back in the photo.

Good one. You have been to so many of the great places.

I have wanted to drive the road near there onto Grey Mesa, potentially rim hiking to the south or north, but it's kinda out of the way.

Yeah lots of great stuff to explore in that area.

Not Deer Creek, nor does this drain into Long Canyon.

I get "escalante" as well here, but nothing more
