Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[regehr]

No idea who named it the Wickiup, though why is pretty obvious. I've also heard it called Mary's Nipple. No idea why nipples are non-PC since we all have 'em.

Yeah but the old names could be worse than that:

Alas the book isn't that interesting.

That means you own a copy, right?

Yeah-- I thought with a title like that it would be fascinating!

There are more nipple names in Utah than China has... Oh is that non-PC?
Do you know the origin of the current name?

Name this area or the arch.

Is that the arch going over the Post cut-off near Lower Muley?

Is that the arch going over the Post cut-off near Lower Muley?

Yes, @LarryBoy. I believe is unnamed on the USGS map and actually labeled as a Natural Bridge and it exists in CRNP. You are up!

Should be instantly recognizable for anybody who's been here.

Courthouse Wash?

Culvert Cyn?

 

[LarryBoy]

Not in the Moab area

Hoo boy, didn't expect this one to be so tricky. Hint: I'll bet 50% of the people on this blog have been within 5-10 miles of this location (as the crow flies). Nobody comes over here though, as they'd end up quite wet.

On the west side of the Green?

 

[LarryBoy]

On the west side of the Green?

No sir.

I'm pretty sure I know the general area, so let's start knocking them out one-by-one. Swett?

 

[Nick]

Damn that looks familiar. Long Canyon?

Aw man I'm sorry guys. I'll spot you this (poorly lit and blurry) photo, which was taken the next morning.
