I thought it looked very similar to the Robber's Roost area. Or possibly at the headwaters of the Poison Springs canyons.
Sorry, I just assumed that interest in the thread was waning..
I realize now there is more than one Devil's Garden, I assumed he meant the Escalante version.
Poison Springs is close to the right area. This location is just a few minutes walk from the paved highway, but you'd need a little luck to find it...
I just stumbled into this photo. No
clue but maybe Lone Peak in Utah?

100,000 bonus points to whoever can identify where this is...heck, I'll give ya kudos if you just nail the area.

Is this in the vicinity of the Paria?
No...and if there is anyone who I thought might get it, it was you.
That's kind of a clue.
Is this a tributary of the Escalante?
Winging it, off the East side of Cummings?
Aztec in background
Doesn't look like the trail though.
You're so damn close I'm going to give it to ya!Quote:

On the 7.5 topo it's called "Rainbow"...2500 ft. from the lake to the top. There are two, steep routes from the lake to get out of the little canyon...moki steps up a nose on the west side and and old Navajo route up a nose on the east side. The east side route leads to Mopitz and Anasazi canyons.
When you get to the base of Rainbow, there's only one place to go up and you'll need one good climber and a 60 ft rope for those who aren't. Then make you're way to the west and look for the only chute there is that takes you to the top.
My first time up there was in '01. I was backpacking in the area and a friend and I decided to try to gain the summit on a layover day. We knew nothing about it but found the way up. Lo and behold, there was a can up there with paper and pen...it had about a dozen names on it, among them Steve Allen!
I've been back up there twice since then, most recently last week. On both occasions I couldn't find that can. Either the wind got it or someone brought it down.
The views up there, as you might imagine, are fantastic.
Excellent guesswork, Kurt. You're a lake guy, so I figured you'd get it.
The picture is near the top looking down into Oak Creek (the big one with the perennial stream).
Been there, done that. First time 1985 and last time 1994. There are some great canyons in the area. We did a bunch of canyoneering in the area in the late 80's and early 90's. Fun stuff...Quote:

Here's another pic of it about halfway up. One of these days I'm going to spend a night up there under a full moon.

Grand Canyon!
Nice shot. A photographer who likes looking for unique shots once showed me an aerial of a pretty big looking arch really high up in the slickrock around Powell. (Not Rainbow obviously but impressively large looking). But he reckoned it would be really hard to get to - certainly going up to it - because of cliffs after studying google earth. I’m not sure if it even has a name but probably the Navajo would have had one for it. I’ve never seen photos of itQuote:

When I took this photo a friend commented that he'd been past it over a hundred times and never stopped. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7cebb77677.jpg

might need a hint for this one
This might be enough of a hint. I also would like to get opinions about descending this canyon. Sounds like the escape upstream is the crux.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4561d1056d.jpgQuote:

As soon as I saw that picture I figured it was in the Grand because that looks like Redwall to me. Never seen that particular hole, though.
I reckon it's downstream from Deer Creek, of course. Perhaps 150 mile? Whitmore? Separation? I've read about one of those canyons west of Kanab Creek having a crux at the top.
Yes, it is downstream from deer creek. Not as obscure as Oden's eye (who wants to look river right up high while running Lava) but you hafta stop and take a short (200m) hike past the busted lower unit to see it.

Attachment 90212Camped right past Lava...I remember the Oden's eye.
That's ^^^^ my kinda people. My 'where's that' is a little upstream of your soire. I think Allen has written about it. The canyon terminates at an awesome camp on the Colorado.

Dangme... over three months. I guess this game has run its course.
I'll give a clue anyway: in Arches NP.

FWIW:
That was Crystal Arch. It's a nice off-trail hike from the Devil's Garden area.
