I'm feeling dirty devil area, so maybe Chambers Canyon just before it meets the river?

It’s not Silver Falls Creek. This Navajo-walled canyon is replete with rows of Moqui steps, one of which is shown here.

With obstructions at the head and mouth of this canyon exiting out the side is your best bet.

Hint: this box canyon might be a good place to pasture your stock animals if you want to do some exploring on foot.

The upper part of this canyon exit is unique and much photographed. This is what you have to climb to get to the more famous part, though. What canyon is this?
