Pretty place. I'd try to clone out the rope, though.

It's a playground for the locals.

The rope is part of it.

I guess you can see the "moki steps that run up the right side.

People climb them and then slide down the falls into the 1st pool.

What precisely does "moki" mean?  Every time I drive the Moki Dugway, I ask myself this.

They are loosely referred to as hand-carved "steps" in sandstone made by early Native Americans.

The ones in my photo "mimic" true Moki steps as they were probably made by locals.

I believe the Moki dugway is a different meaning.

Not sure what that refers to ?

Hope that helps a little.

It does help.  A little. : )   Dugway and moki seem to mean about the same thing. 

Oh well.  A mystery for the ages, I guess.  Thanks Ute.

Perhaps less of a mystery, but a mystery nonetheless, was what did you think of the photo ?
