Hello again,

After doing a lot of research, in December I could locate this famous ruin with informations and Pictures gleaned on the internet.
I just returned from my annual trip and I wanted to share my Hike !

It's a nice day in Cedar Mesa, I am about to take a track, difficult with my rental vehicle, a Jeep Compass 2WD :scared:
but I get to move on and I stop my suv in the middle of the road, it may be impassable !

After one hour of walking, I see the ruin, I must find the way down, after a few acrobatic way,
I finally arrived in front of goal!

The hardest part is to do ...
Spend 2 spot and crawl, which will ultimately fun, there are 3 parts to this ruin,
at the beginning a defensive wall, a small loft and ultimately the best part.

I do not advice this hike if you have dizziness, but be careful if you know the location
