Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[John Morrow]

Darn, I gotta come up with something.

 

[John Morrow]

Might go quick:

 

[regehr]

well, I go by vibe cause I haven't memorized what the rock layers do in different locales like some of y'all have done, but I'm going Stevens C here

 

[John Morrow]

I figured that would go quick! That's the only broad area (Lower Escalante, east side) where I've seen the kayenta ledges completely eroded back exposing nice smooth bench walking on the top of the wingate.
Take it away @regehr!

 

[regehr]

which creek is this?

 

[Writhdar]

Boulder?

 

[regehr]

not boulder creek. this one receives (I would guess) quite a lot more hiking traffic than Boulder Creek.

 

[Writhdar]

how about Deer Creek? but it doesn't get that much hiking traffic, I think

 

[Titans]

Hm... I initially thought Deer Creek, but maybe Upper Calf Creek

 

[regehr]

slightly different area, not really Escalante at all

 

[Titans]

Ah, Pleasant Creek

 

[Reef&Ruins]

Ah, Pleasant Creek

If that is so it must be a part of Pleasant Creek I haven't been.

 

[regehr]

Ah, Pleasant Creek

yes! not far from where it exits the reef. I don't think most people get up onto the rim here, but it's easy and nice

 

[Writhdar]

Thank you for getting me to think about this area again. It's been at the back of my mind for a while but never acted on it - your photo got me interested again.

 

[Titans]

Here's the view from below, think it's close to @regehr 's photo.




Next up - Name this creek:

 

[SteveR]

Well.......Pleasant Creek comes to mind.

 

[Titans]

Well.......Pleasant Creek comes to mind.

@SteveR - very funny, ha... it's the second photo with the nice red walls we are guessing I bet you can narrow that down quickly!
(The first photo was obviously Pleasant Creek - the creek view from close to Regehr's spot).

Next, name this creek:

 

[Writhdar]

Titans - thank you - have hiked along the creek also. Curious about a way down from the top of Waterpocket Canyon to the creek - would be a nice loop going up the slickrock expanse N of the creek and then down S to the creek - tried but got cliffed out at the top

Will PM you and @regehr

 

[SteveR]

Well actually @Titans I was talking about the second photo, with the nice red walls, thinking that maybe you were trying to trick us!
Another guess might be Muddy Creek.
