An incredible selection of photos from the Colorado Plateau by Jim Maire.

Doll House | Canyonlands National Park

Doll House is located in the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park at the end of a 20 mile 4WD road. The Maze District was one of the last places to be mapped in America and I can only imagine it would be a cartographers nightmare. My photos are a documentation of the many moods of the Doll House.

Miscellaneous Colorado Plateau

These Photos are from various locations throughout the Colorado Plateau.

Hovenweep National Monument

At about 800 years old Hovenweep's buildings are in remarkable shape, especially considering the occupants moved out centuries ago. Hovenweep has its own style of masonry that is quite decorative as well as durable.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park is located in the Northwest corner of New Mexico roughly one hour south of Bloomfield NM. There are many beautiful buildings here from the Chacoan culture. It is a very sacred and mystical area and one of my favorite places on earth.

Petroglyphs and Pictographs

A collection of Petroglyphs and Pictographs found in the Colorado Plateau.

Ancient Dwellings

There are many ancient dwellings scattered throughout the Colorado Plateau, as a matter of fact there are places on the plateau that had more inhabitants 1000 years ago than today. This is a small collection of sites that I have photographed. If you ever visit one of these sites remember They are sacred sites, respect and admire them, take only pictures, leave only footprints.
