Guess the spot: Utah Edition

[regehr]

are you on the rim of some side drainage that feeds into Cottonwood wash in the northeastern part of the swell?

I'm almost certain this is an upper fork of Nate's, but very nearby to what you said-- take it away

Ahh, Makes sense. Only been in that area once when I did a loop with Cottonwood Wash and I thought I recognized some of the rocks and farther peaks in your photo from when I was over there. Must have been a little farther off from where I was.

What about this one?

Are you looking into Casto Canyon from near the Cassidy Trail? Closest I've been is Rich Trail/Ledge Point from Red Canyon. But I love that geography where the Claron Formation rises up into the volcanic rocks like Black Mountain and have been wanting to reach further.

Yep! that is right

I'll throw this up: Try to get as specific as possible as to the approximate location

 

[regehr]

I don't know this one, but can we assume this is a perennial stream?

 

[John Morrow]

That's a good hint. It is.

 

[John Morrow]

another hint. My last "guess the photo" was upper Pleasant Cr. This is not Lower Pleasant Creek. Nor does it cross the Reef.

I was going to guess Hackberry, but it sounds like you're saying this is in the CR area, hmmm.....

 

[John Morrow]

Sorry, rereading what I wrote....Not part of Capitol Reef at all. Hackberry makes sense but not it. My guess is this has to be the tightest narrows of this particular perennial water.
In fact, though I hiked through it, if it were someone else's photo I'd struggle to locate it.
This may give it away: There's "stuff" in the alcove to view.

 

[regehr]

hmmm... could this be somewhere along Calf Creek? I don't remember an alcove like this but it's been years since I walked downstream from the upper falls

 

[John Morrow]

Much warmer
