The False Kiva is a stone circle of unknown origin in a cave in a remote area of the Canyonlands National Park, located in U.S. state of Utah. It requires some hiking knowledge or special directions to find this site. The hidden cave sits half way down a mesa cliff and is "a room with a view" of rock formations in Canyonlands. It has become a popular spot for photographers capturing the Southwest, offering a unique frame for the dramatic thunderstorms or clear skies beyond. 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.
