Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[Kokopelli]

Mineral bottoms road.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Mineral bottoms road.

Another good guess, but not Mineral Bottom road--west of the Green River. Although this is a road, I don't think many full sized vehicles travel it anymore.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Hint: A section of this jeep trail is used by hikers on a very popular loop hike.

[Old Jeeper]

Mineral Basin, looking up towards AF Twins

Correct

Your turn.

And lets hear your story.

[tmartenst]

The Story:

I started working at Snowbird in 2002 and rode a lot but kept my feet mostly on the ground (or Pow rather) despite most of my friends dropping cliffs all over the mountain. On 2.21.2005 there was a ton of new snow, I was having a great pow day and also expanding my cliff jumping ability because the landings were so soft. All of the cliffs I did I had seen from other angles or had seen others jump them. Around mid day I met up with a good friend who jumped big cliffs all the time. He took me down to the cliff in the arrow and told me where to jump. I wasn't feeling it at all because I had never seen the bottom. A patroller was watching me just below. My friend told me to go straight and I decided to go a little left since it looked like less of a distance. The cliff was about 45 feet we determined. My rookie move to the left landed me directly in another guys bomb hole so the snow was all blown out already and I also turned in the air so I landed pretty much parallel to the mountain (not good). My face hit my knee on impact. It hurt. I tumbled and righted my self and knew I was messed up. Adrenaline allowed me to snowboard slowly down to the bottom of the Mineral lift, up to Hidden Peak, down tram in pain and at the base I was hurting bad. Went to instacare and they told me it was a lower back sprain. 2 days later, the radiologist called and said I had a broken back. Compressed 3 vertebrae (chipped off the edges of L1, L2, L3). In a back brace for 5 weeks and then back on the hill. Very happy I'm not paralyzed.

My face after knee goggle. Will have the triangle scar for life.

Not Red Pine. In the Wasatch but off a different ridge line.

I think zzyzx should take it. He was first up with the right answer.

Thank you, Old Jeeper.

Where is it.
Name the canyon or wash.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Is this in the San Rafael?

[zzyzx]

...sorry, Dave.
It isn't in the San Rafael.

...some folk of Bogley were been there.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Would it be near Kanab?

[zzyzx]

...no, not near Kanab. But Kanab is one of the gates to that area.

[zzyzx]

...maybe a little hint.
The common TH is far behind you, if you look at the picture.

[Byron]

Wild guess, Coal Pits Wash.

[Scott P]

I wasn't going to guess, but since I don't know this one maybe I will anyway.

Perhaps Lick Wash or Hackberry area. The rock looks the same general color in this area.

[xjblue]

Kind of reminds me of Sheep Creek.

[zzyzx]

...sorry folks for late answering. I'm now in Utah for hiking and have wireless connection only today.
No, it isn't Lick Wash and Hackberry area. Further northeastern. Located nearly on a historic road. Hope, it helps. :)

Today I'm back at home from Utah. We have had a wonderful time, a lot of fun and above of 100 mi of hiking in Moab area, Cedar Mesa and GSENM.

... and it isn't Hog Cyn.

Go to that area, where a small town and river have the same name.

[Scott P]

Go to that area, where a small town and river have the same name.

That does narrow it down. The only areas I can think of where the Navajo Sandstone has that same coloring is in the Upper Paria, Upper Escalant and parts of/around Capitol Reef. So it would have to be somewhere in the upper Escalante drainage.

I'm not guessing though, since I don't know the specific drainage. I would say far upper Death Hollow has that coloring, but it looks too shalow.

I guess I could guess Phipps Wash, but it the coloring doesn't look right. If it isn't Phipps (and it probably isn't), it would almost surely be higher in the Escalante drainage.

[zzyzx]

Escalante area is right.
You been guessing right too, Scott.

It's Phipps Wash in the direction to the TH at Old Sheffield Road (Spencer Flat). There are beautiful sandstone colorations here in lime, yellow and pink. The downhill into the wash is a little steep, but fair.
The hike from that site of the Phipps is a lot of fun. A hidden arch and big pool are along the way to Phipps Arch.
You're up!

@xjblue (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=19365) , looks like we need some more clues to keep this moving.

[xjblue]

First clue: (I'll post a second soon if this doesn't get it going again)

When we stopped there some folks, a friendly couple who live there in a small house through the summer and ranch the place with a son, showed us the fixed up old bunk house next to their place and pointed out what direction the old ranch house used to stand. Remains of a chimney are all that apparently remain according to the man. The Hay shed was pretty much unchanged. They rattled off famous outlaws including Posey and the Wild Bunch who used the place. They encouraged us to enjoy the view to the south toward Monument Valley out from the bunkhouse porch.

[xjblue]

You might pass a view like this on your way to or from there.

[Scott P]

I thought of the Scorup Cabin, but I thought it was surrounded by pine trees, so I don't think that's right. The last photo looks like Dark Canyon though.

[Sandstone Addiction]

UN-Educated guessing: to enjoy the view south, toward MV I was thinking it would be somewhere on Cedar Mesa (I'm not familiar with this area at all)??? But with the pine tree in upper left I would have to say more up around the Cottonwood Wash area west of Blanding???

[xjblue]

Narrowing it down.
Scott P has proper ID on the clue, think higher elevation than Cottonwood - you could get there from Cottonwood...

[Scott P]

Is it the Ute Cabin? If so, it looks different than it used to.

[xjblue]

Nope, If the Ute Cabin on the map by the Kigalia ranger station? doubt you can see Monument Valley from there given the trees, the Bears Ears, etc, but you are still heading in the right direction, getting warm.

mohave national preserve is not it.

these dunes are in a wilderness area with the word "dunes" in it. and they are south of I-40

i had seen them from the air several times when flying between 29 palms and needles. finally went out there and the dunes stretch for miles. amazing.

afraid not scott. it is located in southern california. i am not surprised that no one has gotten this one. i had never heard of it either. i saw this huge area covered by dunes while out flying and had to look it up on the map and see how to get out to it.

another clue. _______ Dunes Wilderness lies 40 miles east of Twenty Nine Palms, between State Highway 62 and historic Route 66, in San Bernardino County GPS Coordinates: 34

Hint: It's the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but I can't post my guess more specifically since I'm leaving town and don't have a photo to post.

[denaliguide]

how about looking into roaring spring canyon down the north kaibab?

Looks like the Grand Canyon North Rim.

[denaliguide]

Is the trail to Havasupai to your right?

[denaliguide]

nope. not the trail to havasupai.

[Scott P]

I know where it is, but am leaving town tomorrow morning, so don't want to post a pic and will let someone else answer.

This weekend some of my Bogley friends invited me to hike a Trail to go Bass fishing down South, but I'm actually heading to the San Juan Mountains instead. Should be a good weekend. You guys have a good weekend too.

[Scott P]

scott actually had it cryptically.


I guess no one (except you got it). All the words were capitalized:

I thought someone would get it for sure.

Anyway, I post enough photos so someone else can go.

[Sandstone Addiction]

I got lots of pics!

What is this a picture of and where is it?

EDIT: I should mention that this photo was taken in 2005, pretty sure nothing has changed over the years though.

And here is a link to a bigger version

Rd. from Big Water to Wahweap Creek (Hoodoos)?

[Sandstone Addiction]

Awesome! zzyzx you know your stuff! Correct, the road goes up Wahweap and on to Nipple Spring and beyond. For what was in the picture, I was looking more for the ponds at middle right, but I didn't word it very well, so close enough. I'm not positive what they are used for now, but those ponds (or some very similar) were used as a fish hatchery years ago and I spent many a hot summer evening as a kid cooling off in them.
