Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[John Morrow]

I'll take a shot that that is 1000 Lake or Boulder Mtn in the far horizon plus Factory or one of the similar shaped buttes. If that is correct maybe someone can pinpoint the photopoint.

That is Thousand Lake Mountain in the far background. Factory Butte isn't in this photo, but two other named buttes are.

 

[Rockskipper]

Are you by Molly's Castle?

 

[Udink]

Actually, yes, I hadn't noticed initially but her castle is visible in the photo, just not skylined like the other two named Buttes.

 

[Rockskipper]

Are you at Kathline Rock there by the highway north of Hanks?

No, this was about the halfway point of a six mile round trip hike, all off-trail and away from any roads (but starting on a dirt road).

One of the Gilson buttes? I've always wanted to go out there.

 

[regehr]

kinda forgot about this thread!

I'll throw out a slightly different guess: vicinity of Sweetwater Reef

That's it, Gilson Butte! I normally give a lot of hints until someone guesses but this one just seemed so easy with plenty of hints already. (I think @Rockskipper knew it, though. )

On a previous hike I circled Little Gilson Butte (approaching from the north) and there was a lot to see there--inscriptions, petroglyphs, artifacts. But surprisingly there's zilch around Gilson Butte.

I'll have to check it out sometime! I've heard theres a lot more camping red tape in that area now.

I hope this is obvious yet hard enough; name the canyon with this alcove!

 

[regehr]

Can’t say for sure but it looks a lot like some alcoves in Lower Muley Twist

A bit further south.

 

[BeardoMcGrath]

I see a bathtub ring....is this a section of Davis Gulch?

 

[Henk]

Jacob Hamlin Arch in Coyote Gulch?

 

[regehr]

Halls Creek narrows then? I've only been through a fraction of these cause we were there in March and we ran into deep water

 

[SteveR]

I'm thinking that might be the big alcove near the arch in Willow Gulch.

 

[Jazzy Joe]

Jacob Hamlin Arch in Coyote Gulch?

Getting warmer! This is the closest guess yet.

This canyon shares a name with the arch above it.

 

[John Morrow]

Silvr falls?

 

[BeardoMcGrath]

Stevens Canyon?

 

[XID_AZ]

If it's not Steven's then, perhaps Fifty Mile? I made it down Fifty Mile last year, not quite to the narrows section, but I don't recall seeing a large alcove with a rock pile like that in front of it.
Seems like @Jammer passed by a scene like this last year, but just can't place it.
