Naming a new canyon
If you had the opportunity to name a real cool canyon, what would you name it?
What would you base your name on?
Would you just stick with some dumbass description like "Mile Marker 27.4 Canyon"?
Would you leave it unnamed? I always figured the best way to keep a canyon secret was to not give it a name and then you couldn't talk about it cause it wouldn't have a name.
How about naming it after a female body part....
or the crazy chick you dated in high school?
Maybe after your favorite drink
In the past I've usually named canyons after an experience that happened in the canyon, but since Benny already stole "Brokeback Canyon" after his last experience I'm kinda shying away from that trend.
Just curious, cause if all goes well this weekend we'll do a couple of canyons that have never been named and to tell ya the true I have pretty much used up all the cool names I can think of..... so maybe the best way to name one of these is to let the members of uutah.com come up with a name..........
Game on!!!

No, because Mile Markers along the highway are not natural features. Of course I hate the name of Mind Bender/Not Mind Bender as well. North Middle Fork is dumb because it is too long. Both guidebook authors should have named it "Great Alcove Fork". Of course, even if lame, I am for using the first published or first known local name. (Great Alcove was actually first).

How about this one on the bottom? Much better:Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

In wildland fire we are required to name the fire after the nearest geographic feature. Such as the 'trillium fire' after trillium lake near by. Pretty easy, till you are in the virgin river gorge in southern Utah and you announce over the forest band that your fire is the virgin fire and you are the virgin IC (incident commander). To bad I had to change that one, it was funny while it lasted...
