A grey and slightly cold and snowy start, turned out to be a nice day after all to visit some habitation sites south of me. The amount of work required to build these without modern tools is amazing, plus the transport of the stone to the ledges must have been difficult also. This must have been a good area as there was water present and we saw some deer also, so crops and meat could be obtained

Really cool pictures. Did you crawl into any of those sites? Great stuff.

you generally don't go into the sites as they are not stable and you don't want to damage them. Also, some are on ledges that would be difficult to get on to with out rock climbing equipment
There may have been ladders at one time,

Ramkingjc, this is indeed southeast Utah, home of many archeological sites Google Chaco canyon images

Thank you Peter. I will check this out. My wife and I are always looking for new places to hike and see. We would both be very excited to see this in person.

Thank you for the excellent photos.

We have spent time around Santa Fe,NM. We did go to
some cliff dwellings similar to what you visited. It was
many years ago but I think those people were Peyu(sp).

Great experience Peter as always. Hard to believe that those were the lucky that got those caves. The remainder had to fend for themselves seeking safe shelter wherever it was.
Seeing that snake tells me you need a Bond Arms Snake Slayer, but you can't have mine. LOL.

It has been a while since I posted some photos, but I have been busy.
We went to Eagle Park yesterday, a remote part of Arches, and explored a new area. A lot of really cool fins and rock formations. I saw a badger, which I had never seen out here before and a really nice Pronghorn on the drive back to town. Good day to do a long hike as the heat is returning later this week
