When I was there in 1978 you couldn’t go up there without a park ranger. The trail was supposedly infested with rattle snakes still from the time of the Anasazi.
“Anasazi”
Yes. the “Ancient Ones”.
I first read about it in a magazine I subscribe to, Science 80.
It was a good mag to begin with, then got off track chasing idiots money and forgot about science. I quit subscribing because of that crap.
“ rattle snakes still from the time of the Anasazi.“ those must be some old rattlesnakes. Probably got fang dentures by now. :)
