Windlass is the old cable works located on Canaan Mountain plateau that was used to lower timber down to the valley. The wood construction still hangs off the side of the cliff

I KEEP hearing about this WINDLASS. Looks like that was a very interesting job to partake in.
Guess a person couldn't be afraid of heights.
Is Canaan Mountain inside the Dixie National Forest? That's an incredible area to VISIT!!!

Cable Mountain in Zion has a similar abandoned cable works that was used to lower timber to the valley. Canaan Mountain is located south of Dixie National Forest not far from Arizona.

	Voted 10/10	Looks like a GREAT one to visit. What are you doing indoors? I thought you were outside playing in the snow.
