Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Brendan S]

Lower end of West is my best guess, though it’s not especially close to Bullfrog...

 

[Artemus]

Another hint:
The Creek is named after a well known slot Canyon

Wait a minute. The creek is named after the slot. That is unusual. The slot should be named after the creek if anything!

Ok, the slot is named after a well known creek in the area...
One more hint, it's not easy to spell lol

 

[Nick]

Trachyte?

 

[o2bav8]

Trachyte?

Nick, that’s correct!

 

[Nick]

I never thought of the main fork of Trachyte as being a slot! Is that spot in your pic downstream of the 276 bridge? I've walked from the north fork junction below that down to the reservoir and never seen anything like that but I heard there was one little waterfall to bypass between there and the highway. Is that the one?

Here's the next photo...

No, sir. Further east.

Haha that boulder covered shanty brings back memories.

Looks like it could be near Dewey Bridge?

Whoops. Forgot everyone was waiting on me. This is not the Colorado River. This particular scene is usually only seen by river rafters but a hairy 4WD road got me there. It's in southeast Utah.

The Green somewhere between Ruby Ranch and Horseshoe?

 

[Nick]

The Green somewhere between Ruby Ranch and Horseshoe?

Nope.

Another hint: this spot is in a National Monument but it used to be in a much larger one. The land on the other side of the river is of a very different designation.

The land on the other side is on the Rez?

 

[Nick]

The land on the other side is on the Rez?

That's correct. The fact that this is still in a monument now should make this easy.

I was just thinking about this thread the other day as I was out this way.

That boulder covered building is down by the San Juan River and the apparently infamous San Juan Hill. It could be closely tied to the Barton Trading Post? IDK, but yeah, down there where Comb Ridge meets the San Juan LOL

 

[Scott Chandler]

@Nick I responded fairly confidently but I've been confidently wrong before. Are there other boulder covered buildings I need to visit?

 

[Nick]

You are right Scott! You’re up!

 

[Scott Chandler]

LOL cool. I didn't want to just go charging into another round actually being incorrect.

Which canyon is this taken in?
