Let's Hike: Moon House

The Moon House ruins are some of the best-preserved Anasazi ruins in Cedar Mesa. The ruins consist of three separate dwellings with a total of 49 rooms and features amazing pictographs on the interior surfaces of the walls. A large stone wall on the outside of the ruins creates a unique inner "courtyard" that can be entered through a small portal in the wall.
The hike to reach the ruins is moderate, but short. It includes some steep traverses across slickrock as you descend into McCloyd canyon and then climb up the opposite side to the ruins. The hike is a total of just 3.2 miles round trip unless you want to explore further down the canyon to find additional ruins.
This entire area is now protected as part of the newly minted Bears Ears National Monument as of Dec. 28th, 2016.
