Ref.#94 6911 ~ Fallen Roof Ruin, Cedar Mesa, Utah
Layers of rock have fallen from the large overhang at these graneries. Minerals which formed between the layers now expose an iridescent "ceiling". Inside the graineries were a few tiny corncobs which have survived this very dry climate. Past visitors have left all alone respecting the integrity of the site.
Our first attempt to find this site led to an “island in the sky”, amazing but not the same. At this site was a multiple room Granary under a ceiling of collapsing layers of sandstone. The mineral deposits resembled a starry sky. At the time we visited, the site was still littered with pot shards and dried corn. We thank the previous visitors for leaving everything as they lay and hope future generations will do the same. Even though the site is remote, many visitors
