Highway 211 • San Juan County, Utah
Home of Truth
Where seekers sleep.
In 1933, a widow from Newark followed an inner light to the most remote corner of southern Utah and declared she had found the axis of the earth. She was wrong about a few things. She wasn’t wrong about the place.
The Home of Truth sits two miles west of Highway 191, on Utah Highway 211, the road into Canyonlands Needles District, twenty minutes from Indian Creek’s world-famous crack climbing, on the edge of Bears Ears National Monument. The original building — raised by Marie Ogden’s followers in the 1930s — has been fully restored into a clean, comfortable basecamp for the kind of people who come to this corner of the desert on purpose.
The History
A colony built on revelation.
Marie Ogden arrived here in 1933 believing this desolate patch of Utah sagebrush was the spiritual center of the universe. Over 100 followers came with her. The story that followed was stranger than any fiction the desert has produced before or since.
The House
Off-grid. Comfortable. Real.
One bedroom and full bath on the main floor. A loft with three beds and a pullout sofa upstairs. Solar power, well water, propane backup. Clean and fully equipped — everything you need after a day in the canyon.
The Land
The best basecamp in Bears Ears.
Indian Creek crack climbing. Canyonlands Needles District. Bears Ears backcountry. Hovenweep National Monument. Newspaper Rock. Everything radiates from here.
