*** About Mesa Ruins: These ruins are remarkable not only for their survival over the ages but also for the insights they offer into the ancient cultures of Arizona. Likely constructed by the Indigenous peoples of the region, these stone structures demonstrate sophisticated building techniques and a deep understanding of the arid environment. The strategic placement under the rock arch provided natural shelter from the harsh desert climate, utilizing passive solar heating and cooling. Further study and preservation efforts continue to uncover more about the social and cultural practices of the time.
