All over southern Utah. The big room with the pool and the two skylights is called Golden Cathedral its located in Neon Canyon in Escalante

The wall of faces is in some slot canyon in goblin valley

The wall art and cliff dwelling was from a 26 mile hike through the escalate river, the teal pools and the round canyon is the subway. There are more pictures mixed in of other hikes

Those bags didn't even last through the hike the sandstone slot canyons destroyed them halfway through that was a overnight 35 mile hike in the middle of nowhere where my appendix started to rupture I just thought I drank some really bad water any way made it out and had it removed

Thanks. Just to show anything can happen. Last weekend I was doing the subway hike and in a section of narrows where I could touch both walls with my elbows and was armpit deep in water, there was a tree lodged in blocking the path. Up and over was the only way through and to get high enough to grab the tree you had to wedge your back against the wall and walk up the other. When I made it to the top of the tree and secured my pack I felt the tree shift so I jumped against the wall to slow my self down. But still landed on the tree after it settled. It fell near 12 to 15 feet i landed waste deep in water and broke my tail bone and didn't even realize till I got to my car i had near 6 miles to go when it happened nothing in the canyons are permanent make sure you check in with the Rangers and let your friends and family know what you're doing then have fun i could have gotten stuck under the tree and drowned if I wasn't paying attention when it started to slip
