About half way around the canyon trail there is an old homestead plot. Before the Canyons became known as a national park there were obviously some houses out there. We didn't see any traces of the homes, however these cars (or whats left of the cars..) were scattered through out the area. We thought they were pretty neat.
You can sorta read the sign in one of the photos, they say that removing the cars would do more damage than helping at this point. Animals nest and take cover in them now. Which is why they leave them out there. (Not to mention it would likely be a real pain in the rear to get them out of there) ;)
Interesting right!?!
A view at the land behind the "homestead" area
We enjoyed checking out these old cars. It was on the back half of the trail & there wasn't too much of a view of the actual canyons at this point, so it gave us something to check out until the trail headed back towards some better viewing areas. We had fun, I'll post about the hike soon!
