    collet top arch

    haha yes old thread. i live in escalante now and went looking for this arch and granary yesterday. first things first this arch and ruin is on a small cliff face allegedly. and allegedly the anasazi were not cliff dwellers in these parts. this i was told by an Escalante Visitor center worker.
    so now i'm left questioning what's considered a cliff?

    this place does exsist and although i did not find it yesterday i now know exactly where it's at. i was off by several roads and miles but hunted nonetheless.
    My ruins hunt was still successful.
    good thread

    The question isn't what's considered a cliff, the question is what's considered a dwelling. Often the term cliff dwellers is or has been used as synonymous with Anasazi in general leading to a bit of confusion or misunderstanding perhaps. Cliff structures are not always dwellings, and often only represent the easy to see well preserved remains while many open air sites and pit houses simply got buried by time and the elements. Add to that a thick Pinion Juniper forest and spotting any "open air" habitation sites is extra challenging.

    Are you referring to the Grand Gulch that drains Hall Creek at the base of the Waterpocket Fold?. That is an area I've been curious about as well, so if you have info to share...
