Summary

Description

(1 in a multiple picture album) This is the largest of the "Cliff Dweller" homes. It was built by a woman whose car broke down here in the 1920s. She had to camp here and wait for another car to come along. Before it did, she found that she liked the area. So she build this dwelling around one of the "ice cream cone shaped" rock formations. In the next few years many other people came and put up structures like this one, but smaller.

The name of the site is "Cliff Dwellers" but a better name would have been "Rock Dwellers". I think they could have drawn thousands of people here had they named it Flintstone Town.
