Wonderful weekend: perfect weather and great hiking. Late Friday we hiked to the Five Kiva Pueblo just outside Blanding, a fairly well-preserved cliff dwelling that you can actually go into. This whole side canyon has remnants of the Ancient Puebloan culture. Apparently someone has a restoration project, as evidenced by the recent artifacts.
Sunday we hiked Upper Butler Wash, where there a number of very well-preserved cliff dwellings. The wash/canyon itself is narrow and lovely with cliffs on either side and cottonwood trees and other vegetation in the canyon floor. This wash must flash-flood dramatically with the September rains.
