Description
False Kiva overlooks canyonlands with a beautiful sky. This site was long held secret so when I took this photograph not too many others had located the kiva. Tom Till of Moab, Utah was one of the first to feature his image of False Kiva and then other photographers and explorers had to follow suite. It is not certain if this site was in fact a Kiva but the name has stuck and is now in various hiking books. Hopefully those who go to False Kiva will show it the respect that such an amazing place deserves.

Hey Bob! This is certainly one of the best images ever taken at this site. Beautiful work. Unfortunately, the park service closed access to the site in Aug 2018; I do not believe there has been a decision to re-open.
Bob Christopher replied:
Hi Thomas…Sorry to hear of the closure. I shot this long ago on slide film! I have been there several times over the years. The access was a bit sketchy at the end so may have been safety issues or maybe cultural. Thank you very much for your information and your lovely compliment on my photograph…Cheers Bob
Spencer McDonald
Bob!! What a fantastic view you captured. Love that fire ring or gathering circle in the forefront. Make you image what went on in that cave many years back. Super well done job!!
Bob Christopher replied:
Hi Spencer…Yes, there is a lot of intrigue surrounding this location. The landscape along with the kiva ring work so well together. I appreciate your lovely comments and your compliment on my photograph. I appreciate it very much…Cheers Bob
