Where was this photo taken?

I have to go there

That was the hike that got me into loving desert backcountry again. I've hiked it 4-5 times, and will very likely hike it again.

Tell me where this was taken from.



And if you're at Navajo Knobs this Saturday, you may see me.

One L O N G rappel or are there two that terminate here?

Yes! And Heaps Canyon and it's final rappel. You're up.

I think it's like 450' if you did it as one. Most people rap down to a tiny ledge for the final 300' if I remember right. There's one I'm not sad to know I'll never do.

Imagine being the pioneer guy or gal that did it the first time.

Hint: over next to the Zion border

This is better picture of the area by this location

 

[Nick]

Lamb's Knoll?

 

[Jeffrey Chandler]

you got it @Nick , the canyon was I think Snake Alley or Sidewinder canyon and I went down it with friends during the summer. The picture was from a winter return trip in December.

 

[Nick]

Hot damn! Feeling good about getting that one right.

Next....

 

[Mike K]

Totally wild guess but my first thought was that it looks like the canyon coming down from Alice Lake in the Sawtooth Range.
