Where this is

This site is in Grand County, Utah -- the red-rock canyon country around Moab and the Colorado River, on BLM land. Note: within roughly 20 miles of Moab, overnight camping is largely limited to designated sites, so confirm the rule for your exact spot before you settle in. County and setting are confirmed against USGS and NRCS data; the on-the-ground details are still unverified.
