Guess the spot: Utah Edition

Steven Allen’s mecca dream slick rock area…. as close as I can get without having actually made it down that far :)
 
My guess is the SA exit/entry shortcut to the Bowington Road out of the river valley. It begins hidden behind a 50 foot black streak dryfall and the pic could be enroute to the line of dead ponderosa pines. Or not...
 
Titans - Steven Allen’s mecca dream slick rock area ???

John - not that spot but less than 10 miles from there
 
Slickrock aficionado, Steven Allen calls it. Challenging terrain, somebody else can likely be more precise, if that’s the right area :)

thought this is what you meant - I call the area N of Boulder Creek & E of Deer Creek a "slickrock playground"

so the spot is in this area - I'll give a more precise location tomorrow
 
Based on @Titans getting the place right, I did a little searching on Google Earth and came up with a spot marked on the attached map image. Titans still takes the win on this one as I'd have never found it without a guess of the correct area.

And here's a Google Earth screenshot. I didn't perfectly match the angle but you get the idea.

@b.stark - Awesome! Go ahead :)
I did briefly look in Google Earth, but stopped as I have a history of going down the rabbit hole in that area :roflmao:
 
If you insist... this one shouldn't be too hard. It's by no means an obscure place, anyway.

I love this area. It's just perfect. There's water—deep enough to swim, slickrock, and plenty of interesting pockets. Lots of routes that are a bit challenging but most of them go if you try. And it's a long day hike but a very mild backpack.
 
This one may be a little harder. The name of the canyon indirectly reflects the difficulty of getting from the lower box where the clean water is up to the higher part. It's quite a scramble and that prevented grazing in the main canyon.

Ditto that. Only been there once thus far but much more to return for
