Moon House

Moon House is one of those iconic ruins that even has its own Wikipedia page. After getting our permit (only 30 hikers per day are allowed in) we drove a harrowing, rutted eight miles to the trailhead. From there it was an occasionally steep two miles in, some of the trail sorely in need of rope and pitons. After frequent butt-sliding we were amply rewarded by a spectacularly preserved "ruin."

The most memorable feature of Moon House is a series of pictographs showing phases of the moon. The rooms are so well preserved that some contain ancient corn cobbs.Lue lisää
