Striped Roof Granary

Striped Roof Granary

Let’s finish up the week with another ruin that I came across in the spring while hiking in Mule Canyon. While most people are familiar with the House on Fire ruins located in the same canyon, there are plenty of other ruins to visit….and even some that can be pretty photogenic, too. While exploring this ruin, I noticed the sun reflecting off of the sandstone above the granary accentuating the different colors which is what I wanted to show off in this photo.

Honeycomb Ruin from Below

Here’s a photo of the Honeycomb Ruin that I took from well below it with my long lens. It’s known as the Honeycomb Ruin because of the tafoni of the sandstone on the ceiling above the ruin which can look pretty cool in photos. Had I had more time, I would have liked to climb up to it for a different perspective and to explore the area, but that will have to wait for another trip.

Doll House Granary

Doll House Granary

A small granary tucked underneath a low alcove in the Doll House area of Canyonlands National Park. I hiked to this one in the spring when I spent a few days in the Maze. I think this one looked much better in black and white.

Fallen Roof Ruin

Fallen Roof Ruin

The Fallen Roof Ruin is one of those iconic locations on Cedar Mesa that every landscape photographer seems to have a photo of in their portfolio. That distinction is well deserved since this ruin is built in an amazing setting and is very photogenic. It’s a very nice hike to visit this ruin and there is so much else in the area to see and explore!

Middle Park Granary B&W

Middle Park Granary B&W

This past Saturday after I setup my camp in Bobbys Hole I still had a few hours before sunset, so I made a quick side trip to Beef Basin so that I could revisit some of my favorite ruins in the area. Here’s a new photo of the Middle Park granary in black & white.
