Three Roof Ruins

Three Roof Ruin is an Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwelling on the main Escalante channel between Willow Gulch and Explorer Canyon, on the left going up the arm. The National Park Service restored it in the 1960s, and it is one of the few ruins on the lake reached only from the water. Whether you can get close depends on the lake level, and the park sometimes closes it.
