Not.

Even.

Close.

Hahaha. Figured I had a 1/1000 chance!

 

[Nick]

Haha! I guess I realized how tough this one might be so I made sure to emphasize how far away from there this is.

Now someone will come along and guess it just because I said that.

 

[Nick]

Hint: this canyon is very vulnerable to flash flooding.

Virgin River

Virgin River

That's even further away than Jackson's guess.

Utah!

 

[Cool Danish]

Buckskin Gulch or Wire Pass before it heads into Arizona?

Buckskin Gulch or Wire Pass before it heads into Arizona?

Way cold.

This spot is north of the 38th parallel.

Getting closer but still pretty cold. Go north!

There we go. Coming out of the Lower Black Box. Well done, sir.

 

[Artemus]

Guess the tower or the canyon.

Texas Canyon

Texas Canyon

That is correct, Greg! and Texas Tower. The canyon is a tributary of Arch canyon.

 

[gnwatts]

Wow. I finally figured one out!

 

[Ben]

That is correct, Greg! and Texas Tower. The canyon is a tributary of Arch canyon.

Have you climbed it.

 

[Artemus]

Have you climbed it.

No. over my head. Grade IV 5.11+

And one way to get to the climb is rappel down from the canyon rim opposite the tower. Course you have to jug back up your rope to get out then.
