You are right, Scott. A day pic would be much better. But I don't have one.
Maybe a clue.
Have a look to the trail register. Mostly hikers were parking there. Some went back and out, other ones starts at a TH, further north. A shuttle would be helpfull - if you have one.

[denaliguide]

bullet canyon?

[Sandstone Addiction]

Let's see...with the moon rising or setting we must be looking east or west. And from the photo, it looks like vehicles are traveling around the stand of trees and trail register. I do know that you are likely to be traveling in a RV so the road there must be good.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Bullet Canyon TH.

EDIT: Dang it, denaliguide beat me to it...Ha Ha

[zzyzx]

...well done!
Yes Dave, denaliguide was a little bit faster.
The road was nearly perfect.
I've found a nice spot for bonedocking a couple of yards on South Rd, where the picture was made.
Maybe 3 spots, or so are along that Rd for bigger rigs.
In the morning we hiked from this site to Sheiks, spend a night in lower Bullet and returned to the RV.
That was a great hike.

If anyone does know a name for the body of water, here are the clues:

The barren mountains in the foreground are the Silver Island Mountains and the snowy mountain in the background is Pilot Peak. It was taken from near the north end of the Bonneville Salt Flats and is looking west. Here is another photo, taken very close to the same place to the above, but without the snow or water:

The Salt Flats are under water for half the year, which is the reason they are so smooth (waves rolling back and forth).

Like the one that used to be in Big Cottonwood Canyon? I haven't been there since it was taken out but the limestone and quartzite looks right.

[mhambi]

Yep, looks like part of the old UP&L Granite Flume.

[tmartenst]

Old Jeeper gets it (although mhambi is correct as well). This is accessed pretty easily by parking at one of the early turnouts in the canyon. If you keep following this downcanyon you run in to the failed Tavaci development where a herd of about 30 deer are the only inhabitants. Very cool place with a great valley view for such an easy hike.

I stole this from flickr just now:
July 16, 2011, lower Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah. Construction on the water flume (middle/right) began in 1896 and was completed in 1897. It remained in use until 1998 when it was replaced with an underground pipe. The total length of the flume was about 1.5 miles and its purpose was power generation: it connected two small power plants, the Stairs Plant at the upper, east end, and one at the base of the canyon to the west, the Granite Power Plant, and owned by the Utah Power Company (later Utah Power and Light). UP&L continued to own the flume throughout its life. Because it was built of wood, it had to be continually repaired. Rock slides and falling boulders also created problems. Documented occurrences involving damage to the flume for example happened as recently as July of 1987 and December of 1994 when the flume was still in operation.
Despite the high amount of visitation that Big Cottonwood Canyon receives for both winter and summer recreation, visitors often are not aware of the existence of the flume that is perched high above vehicular traffic and that is mostly not easily visible when traveling up the canyon, and which is easily missed in view of its short distance and location on visitors proceed back down the canyon.



http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyfrates/5943792681/

[amzee90]

IS IT POSSIBLE

[Old Jeeper]

I lived near by and walked the old flume a few times in my younger days. The power company had someone walk it every day to check for damage. One of the guys would let us tour the power plant and tell us stories as we walked along. The others would kick us off and threaten to have us arrested.

You have the peak correct! It's actually the other side of the mountain. The east face doesn't drop so precipitously. This shows the west face, taken from Chilson Spring / Camp. Technically this is the Brody Seep Trail, but I would have taken the Mazatzal Divide trail as well.

By the way, don't trust any of the springs in this area unless perhaps you're in a wet spring or winter. An 18-mile hike with no water the last eight is no fun, especially in August.

The second picture is from the Barnhardt Trail looking down Barnhardt Canyon.

Yes, and...no. I'll put it this way, sometimes it's in the Rec area, sometimes it's not. Chew on that for a while. This canyon does have a name.

Does the GCNRA boundary change with the level of the lake on the Navajo Nation?

If not, how could it "sometimes" be in or out? :ne_nau:Well my friend, you just nailed it! Indeed, the spot that I'm in is exactly at the high water mark...a place that very few boats have been to in many years. It's a canyon on the south side of the lake, on Navajo land...the trick is to guess which one it is, of course.

Someone that has been here would instantly recognize it...but like I said, it's very remote and only those with the will to backpack in would reach it. Here, I'll post a couple more shots of the vicinity to help dial it in...remember, this canyon does have a name. Here's another BIG clue...it's in Mike Kelsey's slot guide book...in fact, he took these pictures of me.

I have this one but I'm leaving tomorrow for a couple days.

If no one has it by Monday I'll chime in.

There's a double arch at the bottom of Anasazi? Nice guess, but it's a little more to the east....LEHI!!! This pic is where Anasazi hits the lake, above that is a super tight, green mossy, hardcore stemming slot for a good 75 yards, at least.

[Byron]

That one is pretty damn obscure, I must admit. These canyons though...Moepitz, Anasazi and Lehi are absolutely awesome. It's a chore to get to them, I suppose that's why so few are familiar...more pics and Oldno, you got close enough so it's your turn.

Somewhere along Diamond Fork if I remember right?

You got it. Fifth Water hot springs up Diamond Fork.

Let's revive this thread.

Taken this past weekend

[Glenn]

Cedar Breaks? But not sure if you want a more specific view/location.

[oldno7]

No--not Cedar Breaks

[Glenn]

Well, I'm stumped. I figured it couldn't be anywhere in Bryce with the park shutdown, but then again, maybe you did a little guerrilla hiking, I dunno. I looked through my pics of Bryce from last year and couldn't find anything close except Paria View.

Not Bryce or Paria.

A hint--I would think there have been some Mtn Bikers from bogley post TR's in this area. Chere'?

[Byron]

Somewhere off the Red Mountain trail?

[oldno7]

Somewhere off the Red Mountain trail?

No

[oldno7]

Nuther pic from same area

[oldno7]

From where I was taking pictures, it is called __________ point.

[Glenn]

Gotta be Powell Point, Never been up there, beautiful to see from Tropic.

[oldno7]

No--not Powell Point

[zzyzx]

...near Yant Flat?

[Philippe]

Strawberry Point, South of UT14.

[oldno7]

Ding, Ding, Ding--we have a winner!!

Well done Phillippe

That's what I get for trying to reply via smartphone. I couldn't see your second picture. At least my first guess was in the area. :)

Powell Point is a Nice Vista but Strawberry point has some nice formations, similar to Cedar Breaks.

There are many Red rock formations along this entire cliff face.(Strawberry)

[Philippe]

Where is it ?

[Bootboy]

East fork of the virgin?

[oldno7]

looks a bit like the West fork of Oak Cr. Sedona

[Glenn]

Yep; that the Barracks, aka East Fork of Virgin River. This is just upstream of the Powell Plaque area.

Bootboy was the first to tell the location and Glenn gave some more right information.

Oh goody! So does my picture have to be in Utah? Cause I've got some dandies, in and out of this amazing state.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Your choice Bootboy, lots of folks have been lots of places. If it's too obscure, you might have to give a clue or two.

[Bootboy]

Ok here goeshttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/18/u6ery3ej.jpg

[Byron]

My best guess? Somewhere near Taos, New Mexico.

[Bootboy]

My best guess? Somewhere near Taos, New Mexico.

Not even close. But it is in the lower 48

[oldno7]

Tony Grove area

[Bootboy]

Not in Utah. I thought for sure that any well travelled back country skier would nail it. It's in a neighboring state.

[oldno7]

Centennial Range?

[Bootboy]

Wyoming

[oldno7]

Hoback/Bondurant area?

[oldno7]

If those don't work, back in the 90's we used to snowmobile up Horse Cr.

Looks similar.

[Bootboy]

Hoback/Bondurant area?

Very close. I can't believe it's not more obvious. It's probably the busiest back country skiing spot in the Rockies

[oldno7]

Not a backcountry skier--how bout above Alpine, Box Y Ranch area?

[Bootboy]

Closer

[oldno7]

soaked in the Granite Hot Springs one Winter at -20F

Further away?

[Bootboy]

Think border

[oldno7]

Smith's Fork/Lander Cutoff

[Bootboy]

It's a named pass.
Near a state line...

[oldno7]

Hmmm- I've snowmobiled the Salt River Pass area but that is the same general area as Smith's Fork.:ne_nau:

[Bootboy]

Edit: I'll let you keep guessing

A little farther north

[powderglut]

Teton Pass:nod:

[Bootboy]

If your name is powder glut, you'd better have gotten this one right. Teton pass it is. Your play sir

Should be a familiar site to many of you.

[Glenn]

I wish it was familiar! :roll: Looks like the area near the Paria River Movie Set.

[skiclimb3287]

Definitely familiar, but can't place it right now... Near Bryce?

Fairly close as the crow flies.

[Glenn]

Fairly close as the crow flies.

I'm only making one more guess: the painted hills east of House Rock Valley Road, about 2

[powderglut]

[QUOTE=Glenn;546637]I'm only making one more guess: the painted hills east of House Rock Valley Road, about 2

[Glenn]

Bingo!:2thumbs: I figured so many people go to South Coyote and White Pocket would have nailed this one!
You're up.
I'll be seeing them in-person next month; visiting CB North and South.

[Glenn]

Thought I'd try a twist and post a video. Someone's bound to get this; I haven't seen enough of Utah to surprise anyone!

[Bo_Beck]

Paria River south of 89 a few miles?

[Glenn]

Paria River south of 89 a few miles?

Nope. General area, though.

[Bo_Beck]

Wahweap Wash?

[Glenn]

Wahweap Wash?

You got it. :2thumbs:

This was along the west bank while heading north to the hoodoos. The last few seconds of the video shows the view south towards the trailhead almost two miles away.

I bet with all the rains and flash flooding this summer, the wash looks nothing like this! I'll have to re-visit and see.

You're up!

[Bo_Beck]

This one may be recognizable?

[oldno7]

Looks like you guys are standing just South of Mt. Kinesava.

[Glenn]

No apologies needed....

[Bo_Beck]

Close enough Kurt! Actually a bit east and south. At the summit of the "Cowboy Ridge" after a wonderful climb with a great friend "Lyle". Lyle was killed 1 year ago on saturday the 26th after falling 40' and hitting a ledge of the 5th pitch of NE Buttress on Angels Landing. I was fortunate to have him as a friend and climbing partner for the last 15 years.

[oldno7]

Name the Formation where this pictograph is located

[Philippe]

That's Lions Mouth Cave.

Dang, your good:2thumbs:

Give the name of this bridge or where it is located :

70493

Philippe

[mhambi]

Not sure... but looks a little like Pocket Bridge? North Fork Mill Creek area?

[Philippe]

Yes it is Pocket Bridge above Nrth Fork Mill Creek, you're up! :2thumbs:

[mhambi]

How about one with a little international flavor? Hopefully some of our climbers will recognize this... there's some awesome routes next to the waterfall, and all along the scarp face. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do any climbing when I was there this past spring.

http://i40.tinypic.com/10qhsw9.jpg

For scale, the falls are about 230' high.

[Bootboy]

Elands River Falls.

Waterval Boven, South Africa

[Glenn]

Elands River Falls in South Africa

I had to lots of Internet-sleuthing for this one. Probably a place I'll never get to visit, but saw a couple of cool vids once I found it.

<<edit...I didn't see Bootboy's post. I was going back and forth posting this and lost track.>>

[mhambi]

Elands River Falls.

Waterval Boven, South Africa

Correct. :) You're up!

[Bootboy]

Oh yeah... Give me a minute to find a good one.

[Bootboy]

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/11/e6y7yreh.jpg

Tell me the peak it was taken from AND the peak in the distance.

[Sun Dance]

Mt. St. Helens looking north toward Rainier.

[Bootboy]

Nope and nope

[Bootboy]

Right mountain range though

[Sun Dance]

Hood to Adams. Missed Laurance Lake in the foreground.

[Bootboy]

You got half of it right. Clue: this was taken in the AM.

[Sun Dance]

Hood to Jefferson. Trillium and Timothy in the foreground. I guess that doesn't look quite orange enough for PM.

[Bootboy]

Word. You're up
