False Kiva Canyonlands Island in the Sky District Anasazi Ruins            False Kiva is a human-made stone circle created by the Anasazi. While located in a naturally occurring cave, the name False Kiva arises from the uncertainty around the circle of stones' origins and purpose, not whether it is really an authentic kiva. It has become a popular spot for photographers capturing the Southwest, offering a unique frame for the dramatic thunderstorms or clear skies beyond.
