Cedar Mesa, Utah
This amazing Indian cave is set right into the side of precipitous cliff. The ceilings inside are blackened from the smoke of a thousand open fires, and I could feel the spirit of the Navajo all around me. The pattern of rocks on the roof has the appearance of an approaching thunderstorm, helping to create a feeling of movement. The overcast day allowed me to even out the contrasting midday light, and this image perfectly conveys the powerful tribal presence I felt.

Michael T. ★★★★★

The soot on the ceiling of that cliff cave tells you everything about how long people sheltered here. I spent a good twenty minutes just staring up, trying to picture all those fires. Easily the highlight of my whole Utah trip.

Henry Z. ★★★★★

Standing inside that blackened cave, I kept looking up at the ceiling and thinking about how many fires must have burned in there over the centuries. The location alone, tucked into that sheer cliff face, makes the whole trip worth it.
