Lake Powell (no, not that one!) from the top of the difficult traverse below the Continental Divide to Stone Man Pass. You may also descend this nasty gully at the cost of quite some elevation. My previous time on Chief's head - attempting to climb Pagoda Peak, but confused by low clouds - I descended this way, was again disoriented, and descended to Lake Powell thinking it was Frozen Lake. When the sun came out in the direction I thought was north I realized I was mistaken.
