Candlestick Tower plays a starring role in countless beautiful images of the so-called False Kiva ancient ruins in Canyonlands Nat’l Park. And like many of us, I’ve visited and photographed that hauntingly compelling scene. Still, my personal preference is to find and photograph landscapes untouched by human presence, ancient and modern both. So on a visit there last year I sought out a different angle on a familiar scene. A short hike on the Wilhite Trail delivers this pretty overlook.
A sad aside--you might have already heard that the False Kiva was closed indefinitely last fall due to vandalism, so that ancient ruins might be spared modern ruin.
