My guess is it hadsomething to do with the University of Utah's
"field geology" program. It's a known fact that the Wasatch "fault zone" runs directly through this area, and these rocks were placed here "intentionally" to measure the movement of the fault.
Hey, we all have our faults.

Re: My guess is it hadLarry,
I actually started a forum thread about this "structure" on the side of Red Butte. I'm hoping a SLC local has *some* explanation. How odd!

Re: My guess is it hadJust a thought, but you might want to contact SP-member 'Mountaingazelle' on this.
In addition, SP-member MOCKBA is always "on
top of things" when it comes to the Wasatch!

Re: My guess is it hadThe “living room” is well known to locals. It’s basically a pile of rock slabs that were put together to resemble chairs. The structure in your photo is another more updated version of the living room. It looks interesting and probably took a while to build.

Re: My guess is it hadThanks for the insights. I'm still baffled by this arrangement, but it sure was interesting to stumble across!

Re: My guess is it hadIn central AZ, we have a volcanic "sinkhole"
called "Devil's Dining Room." What it has to
do with Utah's "living room," I have no idea - but in the next few days, I'll be spending a lot of time in the kitchen! Have a good one...

The Rock LivingroomMountaingazelle is right. The Rock Livingroom is a longtime (I've been going there off and on since I was a kid in the 80s) destination for SLC locals. Good place to watch the sunset, the fireworks, or just put down a few cold ones.
