Here's my first entry. Some of you guys will probably be all over this one.

 

[Rockskipper]

Beautiful shot @jar155 but dId I miss where someone guessed @deelek's shot? Since you're new here, the rules are you have to guess the shot before you can post one. But given the quality of your first photo, I hope you post many more.

Ah, whoops. I saw the "Paradise" guess and thought it was the name of the canyon/trail/location and that last pic was just a bonus shot. Haha, my bad. That one got by me.

Well, it is the real name, but Deelek's not gonna give it to me. He thinks it's called something else.

That's my bad @Perry. Nobody had any guesses so I just forgot. Here's the last pic again

Turn around 180 degrees and this will give it away

I don't know if the canyon shown has a name, but would be happy to know if it does, and- (ulterior motive here)-if anyone has explored it.
Our interest was piqued by the trio who are down there in the picture, which was taken from a popular trail.
So, name the trail....

This looks like it was taken during the fall... so that trio does not include me.
However, my kids call this the playground canyon and we have spent entire afternoons with dad sleeping near where those people are, and the kids playing in the mini slots and slickrock nearby.

The canyon name is the name of the trail, Frying Pan. It is worth exploring... or Not exploring ... (ie if some lanky guy is down there with two or more kids trying to get an early spring nap).
The end of the canyon is an impressive box canyon, it looks like this:

 

[SteveR]

Well that was quick, and correct! Thanks for the info- will check it out sometime.

How about this one.
Name the canyon or trail where this "hunting lodge" can be found. (at least that is what I have read this was estimated to be)

As a cycle back to the prior picture I believe the canyon is called Fire Canyon.
I'm guessing the current picture is somewhere on Cedar Mesa, but where.... not sure.

I thought fire canyon was just a canyoneering slot that dropped into frying pan?

For the guess, near cedar mesa, but a different canyon complex.

OK. I thought the whole canyon was fire canyon (it seemed as such when I asked a ranger) but I guess I misunderstood.

Hammond? (for the canyon w/ ruins)

Hammond? (for the canyon w/ ruins)

No, Hammond is still on my list of places to go.

When I get back home I can post another angle as a hint.

How about this view, and these from the surrounding area, same canyon:
