Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[Ben]

No, it's a town you go through quite often, or at least near. But is there an Island Park in Utah?

i believe that @Bob lives in or near Island Park. so i thought it was funny.

But Kully you still owe us the arch location, no?

Aqueduct Arch

 

[Bob]

OK, but I would still like to know where Kullaberg63's arch is.

I don't have my main computer with my photos, so this one will have to do - name the town (I think Bob lives here):

Haven't seen that..... It's island park Idaho

Looking up what canyon? Not very well traveled, but this canyon is pretty eye catching on maps...

Oh, I thought maybe you were looking at the background of the photo - all the big pines and lakes and bears and thought it was Island Park. I didn't know Bob really lives there.

But his name is on the building in Green River, how does he explain that one?

Another clue: this canyon is in GCNRA

Eye catching on maps? My first thought is Millers Creek, I've walked a way up it one nice January, but recall it looking a little different.

Millers it is. I was really hoping to make it up to the Doug fir stands below the Navajo but it’s not passable. Looked like that bench maaaaybe could be reached from top of the fold though ....

Blue line is where I made it too, all others are just ideas at this point. I've had ideas of getting up to Cliff Point from that canyon system, but haven't been able to explore it enough yet. The Canyoneer approach to Happy Dog is doable, but I'm thinking there is a few other ways.




I'll post a photo when I get home later.

Awesome, yeah I made it up to the wingate dry fall in the big toe, which looked like it would go but has about a 15’drop. Right at your “way down to water if necessary” it looked very promising to get onto that ledge. Looked like you could also walk up that spine at your photo point spot. You could definitely do some sweet loops there up to Cliff.

At that photo spot I was looking at the ledges below the Navajo to the south, which looked the best from GE. I'll make it back down there.



I finally got to see this one recently. @Jammer inspired this one, but he doesn't get to answer.

Howling Wolf Arch.

Nice job, Art. That's one I've never been to but would like to see.

If that is right, please post another one Danny-boy. Passing through the panhandle of Texas now and nothing to shoot and post that is legal, or interesting, here.

You are UP Art. I failed to post one while you were out, get us a new one.

What is name of the named trail that we are on? The question is easier than it seems when you hear that the trail not only has a name but it is a well-known knee-buster descent into one of our last truly wild wildernesses in America. In fact, it is somewhat fantastical to call it a trail.

 

[slc_dan]

Sundance "Trail"?

Geesh, that was too easy. Now you get to go again buster!
