Well let's keep this going:

Lavender canyon?
Not sure if you mean in Cedar Breaks or outside of Needles. Either way it isn't either of them but is somewhere in between.Quote:

Dirty Devil?
Yes it is the Dirty Devil.
So do I win or are you looking for more detailed information?Quote:

Happy Canyon?
Ding ding ding! What a great canyon although not super easy to access. I took this photo from the remains of the Jeep road on the opposite shoulder. Crossing the river was fun since this was Feb. and it was :cold:Quote:

Not sure if this has enough detail to get it, but if it proves too challenging, I will give hints in the form of additional photos.
Wow -- the channel is different than when I was there. What year was this? In June 2009 the river cut through what looks like the dry wash from Happy.Quote:

Nailed it! Nice work. Thought it would take a bit more than that. Guess Harris Wash has the popularity. Loved the cracked mud in the wash that weekend. Here's another one from the same day:Quote:

Kanab is closer than Escalante.
Probably the least popular way to get to a very popular place.

Looks kind of like the Paria Desert in the vicinity of Coyote Buttes South.
Looking for something more specific -- ie where is the picture taken FROM?Quote:

name the spot where the photo was taken or if too hard name the peak
not a guess? it's a famous peak driven by a lot but normally you see it from the highway not the backside wilderness. the two colors of the sandstone should help narrow the location this is.
Hmm.... Backside of Checkerboard Mesa?
- Jamal
no. but correct general area, east side wilderness access south from hwy 9. but this is further westQuote:
