Guess the spot: Utah Edition

Well, your WAG is correct! You're up @Mike K

Holy crap. I've never even been there. I just knew that you climb, and I've heard about some of my friends climbing in Maple Canyon, and figured...what the heck.

You got the right river...but not Deso.

 

[Nick]

Grey Canyon?

 

[Mike K]

Good job, you got it. Since you're so good Nick , for bonus points, what's the name of the "tower"?

I took that picture after shuttling some friends up river so they could float the daily section on their packrafts and IKs. I took some pics as they paddled by.

 

[Nick]

Whoopsy. I got distracted. Didn't realize this thread was waiting on me. I do not know the name of the "tower" but I would love it if you would enlighten me @Mike K

Here's the next photo...

Correct. You're up!

This oddity can be seen along a popular trail if you're looking for it. Name of the trail it's on wins. If nobody recognizes it I have another scene from the same trail I'll post as a hint.

 

[Noun Sequitur]

Here's a popular detour on the same trail. If you've ever hiked this trail with kids (or as a kid) then you know the importance of running up this sand hill to see what's at the top.

 

[Scott Chandler]

Is that the sand ramp near the parking lot for the Devil's Garden Loop in Arches?

 

[Noun Sequitur]

Yep. Devil's Garden Trail... you are up @Scott Chandler

 

[Scott Chandler]

I knew that rock looked familiar! I have a picture of it somewhere but can't find it....

What canyon system is this?

 

[Bob]

Dark Canyon maybe....

 

[westy]

going with paria. thats navajo mountain in the back.

 

[Scott Chandler]

Both are incorrect, westy's is a bit warmer.

 

[Nick]

Looks like east side zion looking toward the white cliffs.

I think the little dome on the right is Red Knoll.

I think it's from the east fork virgin canyon system. Parunuweap.

EDIT: Merged my three guesses to one post.

 

[Scott Chandler]

Correct Nick!

 

[Nick]

Nice. Next up...

Choprock Canyon?
