Abandoned Cabin

Driving in to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, my wife spotted this old cabin back in the woods and wanted to stop and take photos. It was a bit of scramble to get there but this is what we found. We had no idea how old it was but it looked like it had been part of a ranch at one time. There were some old fences and what appeared to be the remains of a corral. Standing in front of the cabin was an old fireplace, though we had no idea why it was standing alone. The other photo is of an old cup we found near the fireplace.
