Largo Canyon has many sites established during the Gobernador era. Here is Pork Chop Pass located on a shelf overlooking the canyon below.
Only two of the rooms are still standing. There are signs of several other rooms that may at one time actually connected everything together.
This ruin is deteriorating very rapidly. Most of the mud between the rocks has erroded but there is part of the roof still in place.

This room has what almost looks like a spiral stair case entrance. |
| Notice the timber above the door and on the roof. |  |
This water hole was found a couple of miles away from the ruins shown above. There actually exists several of these holes in the same sandstone mountain top within a few feet of each other. You can see the marks on the sides where they appear to be carved as opposed to any kind of naturally occurring phenomena. The cliffs below have signs of carbon on the roof where they obviously had fires. No other ruins were found in the immediate area which does not mean they don't exists. I suspect that what we are looking at is actually much older than the other ruins found in Largo Canyon.
On the opposite side of Largo (many miles by 4wd), this site sits on a small hill. These ruins are baddly erroded and possibly of Hisatsinom (Anasazi) era. There is not much more than a little rubble left.
