Fallen Roof Ruin - Utah
What to do if you have little time : Fallen Roof Ruin
Fallen Roof Ruin were the first ruins we visited after the 10th trip to the American Southwest. We thought "it was not our thing the ruins" but they bluffed us and we found them beautiful. Known for their orange ceiling, they are very well preserved.
These ruins are located in the Cedar Mesa area and are submitted to a fee of $2 per person.

We follow the Cigarette Springs for 3,5 miles before turning left on a small track and then we park in the parking lot.
