Although not a particularly large site, this cliff dwelling high, high up in Cooper Forks Canyon is well worth the rugged, mostly trail-less hike required to see it. The ruin is one of many dwellings built in the Cherry Creek area of the Sierra Ancha about 700 years ago by the Anchan culture.


NOTE: The first edition of Ruins Seldom Seen gave improper GPS coordinates for this site (it was a waypoint along the hike, but not the actual cliff dwelling). I regret this error. However, if you email me and tell me the exact lat/log that was published in the first edition (to prove you actually bought the book), I will email you back with the correct coordinates. Of course, the second edition will have the right GPS info for this site.
