This old 35mm slide is from the Escalante area and was taken in 1991. It was possibly shot on the west side of the Escalante, possibly just south of Scorpion; the three skyline domes might help locate it. I'm trying to map an old trip with missing data. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanksi-qKS3gTF.jpeg
 
I think you may be right about it being on the west side of the escalante and south of scorpion. Found a spot on google earth that seems to line up fairly well. Not 100% sure but sent you a PM.
 
Thanks so much for your detective work; you have made a reasonably compelling case with your location. I'm still studying the view from your datum in Google Earth and so far most of it seems to line up. Now if I can only figure out how we actually got to the point where the photo was likely taken... That trip map is missing from my files and I would really like to reconstruct our route. Obsession can be a problem.
