Details: The America Southwest is home to thousands of caves that were once
home for millenniums of various Indian cliff dwellers.
Few are as hauntingly beautiful as "False Kiva", given it's name for
the round stone circle that normally would have a room below, but in
this case does not.
This hidden cave sits half way down a mesa cliff and has a stunning
"room with a view" of the Monument Valley like rock formations in eastern Utah.
One can only imagine the thousands of times individuals through the
ages saw this same view of Jupiter and the Milky Way parade across the
heavens from their very own back yard..
