Manitou's at Skytop (in the city of Syracuse) Posting #6 Creviced Manitous

Here are some trail maps from TrailForks-- Skytop Main Loop     and  Skytop lot South Entrance for Skytop. 

I have found an incredibly rich area for stone structures within Skytop; an abandoned quarry that straddles the  city of Syracuse and neghboring Jamesville, NY. There are areas with powerful energy and lots and lots of Manitou Stones.

Manitous in Crevice/Ravines 

One of the more interesting findings within Skytop are Manitous Stones located within rock crevices that are 5-10 feet deep and 10-20 feet wide. It is hard to believe that someone would place large stones within a crevice of that size.

The pictures below are from a crevice about 50 feet long. There are several Manitou stone within it.

My staff is painted in 1 foot increments. The Manitou Stone above is tilting. 

Looking ahead in the picture above is another Manitou picture below.

Below a wide angle to better show the crevice

The picture below is of a Manitou Stone with a small crevice, the size of a few hot tubs put together. The Manitou is tilting and about 4-5 feet long.

Who would have thought that millennia ago people would go to the effort to construct Manitou Stones in rock crevices.

Skytop continues to amaze and educate. It has been such a blessing to find such a place close to home.
