Junction Ruin

Only a few ruins were listed on my map and have trails leading to them, but there were at least a dozen along the way. This one is unnamed, and I could only look at it from afar.

The impressive Junction Ruin was about 4 miles in, and there were many large stone structures in fairly good shape.

They built granneries on the shady sides of mountains with only a small window showing in which to keep their corn, squash, and potatoes.

One of the impressive parts of this outdoor museum was the large number of artifacts. Corn cobs, potsherds, small animal bones, flint stones littered the groun. I found several arrow shaft straighteners and metate and mortar grinding stones.
