Bluff great house, Ancestral Puebloan structure.
#bluffutah
Diagram of the Bluff Twins project. The axes of the wall are in line with the Bluff great house, an Ancestral Puebloan structure on the hill to the north west, and Choco Canyon in the distant south east. The opening in the wall frames twin rocks on the north side, and twin arches on the south side.
