    Help me find this spot!

    I saw a picture of this place at a art gallery and the artist played hard to get and wouldn't tell us where he took it. Does anyone recognize this place because I couldn't find it in any of my books?



    Thank you!
    Matt

    That photo is hanging at the Grand Staircase-Escalante Visitor Center in Kanab. I bet you can call there and they would know. It must have been taken in the Staircase.

    Even though the fact that the teapot is lost I will visit the area next year. It is on my list for a long time and a lot of friends of mine have been there . Fantasy Canyon is a sunset location and the other features around there are also very interesting.
    Steffen's site is very informative and you can get a lot of descriptions to interesting locations. On his site I discovered the wonderful pics of Little Finland(near Mesquite) and will visit it this June.

    I visited there several years ago and it is a great place for kids. Lots of cool formations. It's kind of like looking at clouds and trying to figure out what they look like.

    Man! I feel lame. I always thought that looked cool but I thought it was just photoshopped. I didn't know it was a real place. I wish I could have seen it!

    Tooo bad. I go to vernal about one a year to visit family. perhaps it is still worth visiting. I never even knew about this place.

    I saw that in Michael Fatali's gallery in Springdale last year (they're his photos) and had to search for the location online. Pretty cool spot - it's too bad that particular formation is gone. But yes, it still looks like an amazing place to visit...

    Michael Fatali is the guy who was charged with various offences related to setting a fire near Delicate Arch during a photo workshop a few years ago, and making marks on the rock around the arch. He got a couple years of probation, and was banned from Arches (and perhaps other? I don't recall.) National Park for a couple of years. Interesting controversy...

    It wouldn't surprise me if this news, brings more people to the canyon (at least locally). Makes me regret not seeing it sooner even more.
