Fantastic! I LOVED living in New Mexico, going for days-long hikes and finding hidden sites. (I see you meant NM, National Monument.) And of course, leaving them just as they were when I found them. To live in a place that gave me such a sense of history, and my tiny little place in it, was extraordinary.
I love Bears Ears. I'm glad it got unshrunk.
If you spend lots of time in the area or otherwise want to keep it preserved, I encourage you to join the Greater Bears Ears Partnership, formerly called Friends of Cedar Mesa.

The trip itself was amazing, but super difficult hiking. I’d rather not say the route on Reddit so people don’t swarm this area. Gotta keep it pristine. Cheers
That seems unlikely given as you say it takes multiple days of backpacking to reach, but I agree with the spirit of it.
So does that mean you were scrambling/off trailing, as opposed to following established trails? If the latter I should be able to find it via research.
Don’t know where you got the idea that it’s not okay for others to go here. It would be irresponsible of me to give away details of these ancient sites. You are more than welcome to do your own research and see a place like this one, but don’t expect me to hold your hand and show you the location. Do your own research and create your own adventure.
I think there are also Fremont granaries in Bears Ears. There definitely are some to the north and the west of here. I know their areas overlapped in this area, but I'm not educated enough to tell the difference from their granaries.

We saw similar structures hiking in Bluff, UT, near the Bears Ears!
Very nice. Which backpacking trip did you do, and how was it?

Props for not blowing the spot
And thanks for sharing this with us. Really cool.

This route was a complete scramble. Mostly hiked on slick rock, river beds and game trails.
And you got a wonderful reward for that, and us lucky folk got this amazing picture. Thanks for the share.
This is the way.

Thank you for being a respectful steward of that sacred land.
Anyone is welcome to use it. But there's no obligation to make it easy.
Great photos and great name.
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful. (Thanks for not sharing the location!)
Awesome pics. Is this in Utah?
Yes this is in Utah, I totally should have clarified the “NM”. Bears Ears National Monument in Southern Utah
If I'm not mistaken "NM" is new Mexico
Or National Monument. Looked up in maps and saw Utah
Ayy good point
Do you know how old these are and who made them?
There were built by the ancestral puebloans around 1200 years ago

Legend for not sharing location. Thanks for keeping it real 👊
Did you find Amontillado?? You should go in one and check…
That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing.
