The stacked rocks beneath this overhang once served as a granary (storehouse) for the people of the Fremont Culture.

Since time immemorial, people have resided in and around the 210,844 acres (853 sq. km) known today as Dinosaur National Monument. Archeological evidence reveals a record of intermittent human occupation, cultural development, and exploration that spans at least 10,000 years. Today, people from all over the world are still drawn here for many of the same reasons as those who came before.
