CHAPTER IV
36/45

Although the ascent is, at times, steep, the top can be reached on horseback.
The path strikes a natural terrace, and on this is seen a ruined house group built of undressed stones on the bare rock.

Some of the walls are twenty-four inches thick.

And a little to the south of it is a large mound, from which a Mormon has excavated two rooms.

A very well-built stone wall runs for more than 100 paces from north to south on the western, or most easily accessible, side of the pueblo.
After leaving this ancient little village, we made a pleasant ascent to the top, where a strikingly beautiful panorama opened up before us on all sides.

The summit commands a view of the fertile valleys for miles around in every direction.
