Slickhorn Kiva

This is an amazingly well preserved kiva in Slickhorn Canyon in Southeastern Utah. Its fantastic condition is largely due to its remoteness, difficult access and relatively recent discovery.

I find words hard to describe the reverence and awe that I feel when I'm visiting such places. The lives of those who lived and communed here were so different from my own. Yet, at our core we could not be more similar - love of family and spirit and appreciation for the land and sky. I hope I may one day share these ancient places with my children.
