Devils Chasm is located in the Cherry Creek area of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness in Arizona. It’s a very challenging and beautiful hike with slippery climbs along waterfalls, sketchy footing, unmarked routes and scary exposure in a few places. The final steep climb up a remote canyon leads to spectacularly well preserved Salado Indian ruins perched on a ledge high on the cliff. The dwellings were built between 1280 and 1350.

Extraordinary images Kev. Really beautiful. Fun to imagine families going about their daily business in those spaces. Life was so much simpler back then…sigh
Thanks! Yes, you could totally visualize a very different lifestyle. One thing for sure: they must have been quite fit and not afraid of heights!
