Shinob Kibe (Shh-No-Bee Ky-Bee) is a small, sloped mesa in Washington, Utah - along the Virgin River that is fairly rich in history.

Named for the Paiute deity Shinob, and “kaib” meaning mountain. The Paiute people used the mesa as a defensive position against European settlers, Navajo & Ute during the 1800s.

Native legends support that the Paiute spoke to Dominguez and Escalante here in 1776, while attempting to find a route from Sante Fe to Monterey - they were halted by winter and returned to Santa Fe.

A medicine wheel also exists on the mesa top, but has been overgrown by flora. 

Local legend also supports ranchers having discovered burial sites of warriors while plowing their fields at the bottom of the mesa.

    Of course. I didn’t link anything, just summarized with my hike - because the information is readily available online. 
    something I’ve always found interesting and thought somebody here may as well.

    For anyone interested it’s actually not a very hard hike. Some non technical challenges to climb atop the mesa edge is about the only obstacle. I recorded my descend:
