Is that looking down into the Shangrila canyon area?

Finally...... you got it.

That was a tough one! That photo is awesome, though, and I think that place is now on my to-do list. I assume you took that canyon exit/entrance? If so, how hard was it? And do you have any tips on where to enter/exit the canyon?

 

[RyanP]

This is the most reliable spring (a named spring at that) for a stretch of a popular canyon...

No we went into the canyon where the pic was taken. We came overland from the wellhead parking near todi as a loop. I have a gpx file of the route.

Hint: this is what the canyon looks like a little downstream of that side spring

A couple more from a little bit further down the same canyon:

Haven't done this hike and am not too familiar with the springs but is this along the Paria River between buckskin and lees ferry?

yeah these aren't ringing any bells for me, but the vibe is that general part of Utah

Yup! And I just realized that this actually isn't in Utah (we started the hike in UT, and it's just barely across the border)... in any case, you're up!
