STAKE NO. 13.

Little remains of these rooms but piles of rubble. Most of the damage

was done by vandals. Portions of only two walls are standing, but

directly across the canyon from this point you will see a dwelling in an

excellent state of preservation. Originally the walls were covered with

plaster so that none of the masonry was visible. Apparently the balanced

rock on the rim above this room did not frighten the Indian builders.

Rooms built on two separate levels of the cave to the left of this site

gave it the appearance of a two-story dwelling.
