False Kiva, Rock shelter in Canyonlands National Park, United States.
The circular stone structure sits within a natural cave overlooking the vast canyons of the Colorado Plateau through a grand stone opening.
The site contains evidence of ancient Native American presence, though its exact construction period and original purpose remain subject to archaeological research.
The stone circle resembles traditional Native American ceremonial chambers, yet lacks specific architectural elements found in authentic religious structures of the region.
The unmarked trail requires advanced navigation skills and careful climbing across steep terrain, making guided tours the recommended option for visiting.
Rangers intentionally keep the exact location unpublished in official park materials to protect the archaeological remains from potential damage.
