Scientists have combed through the mysteries offered by this ridge for a long time. This is an aerial image of the linear north-south ridge in South-Eastern Utah. First mapped by modern geoscientists in the late 19th century, the ridge is home to numerous Puebloan cliff dwellings and petroglyphs. It is a National Natural landmark and home to the only fossils of a mammal-sized cynodonts (tritylodont) in North America!

I’d never heard of this place before your photo. Yet I am not so far away. Perhaps I’ll find more about it. It looks stupendous.
