Overview

A true hidden treasure in the Utah desert. This area is rich with both ancient and recent history. It is interesting that no more than a few hundred yards apart there are Anasazi ruins that date at nearly 1000 years old and remnants of an old west trading post dating at 130 years old. This mix of historical timelines is not common to find so immediately close together. Add that to imposing red rock formations and the lush green San Juan river valley this is an oasis that you can walk through time visiting.
