Guess the spot: Utah Edition

Although not as obscure as a random canyon alcove or wall...

Where am I?

The wash has a name, but I would also take the name of the nearest town.
The nearest town is also the name of the formation according to the USGS map.

The nearest town is also the name of the formation according to the USGS map.
For clarification, on helping us with or guess, is 'formation' referring to a rock layer (for example, the Kayenta Formation) or some named feature (for example, the Toadstool Hoodoos). I've heard people refer to both things as formations.

One traveling from say, N Utah to Central Utah has likely driven by this...
