Description

Moqui Cave is a sandstone erosion cave in southern Utah. It was once used by Anasazi people as a shelter and a food store. It was rediscovered by white settlers in the 19th century, and served as a speakeasy in the 1920s during Prohibition. In 1951, the cave was purchased by a local family who transformed it into a tavern and a dance hall the following year. It became a local a tourist attraction and a museum shortly after.

The cave currently contains a substantial rock collection, including many ultraviolet-fluorescent minerals, fossils, pottery, spear points, American Indian artifacts and art, dinosaur tracks (estimated to be over 140 million years old), and displays about the Anasazi.

Hope you like this one too.
