Westwater Ruin & Edge of the Cedars

The Westwater Ruin is an overlook site. There wasn't an easy trail across the canyon, though it looked like the agile could probably get over there. This canyon has other ruins nearby, including the pueblo at the Edge of the Cedars Museum.
Down the canyon is to the south and the canyon appears to get deeper. There is some riparian habitat at the bottom of the canyon indicating permanent water. Up the canyon to the north the Blue Mountains are visible.

This site has a good road going out to it, but there is no interpretive information and it doesn't appear to be protected except by its difficult location.

Edge of the Cedars is a Utah State Park in central Blanding. There is a partially excavated Ancestral Pueblo site there with a small museum. The ruins site is a small one and you can see the Blue Mountains in the background to the north.
The Museum has a large collection of ancient pottery. At many of the ancient sites looting by collectors occurred before the sites were protected, so it's rare to see a lot of preserved ones on display.

It is common to find pottery shards in the region and it is odd to think that the shards have been laying there for 700 years.
