Read MoreHouse on Fire (Mule Canyon)
One of the most famous of the Cedar Mesa Puebloan ruins is commonly called the “House on Fire” ruin. It is actually the first ruin along the South Mule Canyon Trail, and it is located about a mile from the trailhead. The parking area is in a little saddle at the mouth of the canyon about a third of a mile north of UT-95 at mile marker 102. The trail drops quickly into the canyon, which is lovely and quite verdant for this area. The trail is almost flat, following the wash floor upstream. The ruin is visible on the right side after a sharp bend to the right after about a mile and about 25 feet above the floor of the canyon. There are three main structures in the grouping, and the unique markings on the roof look like flames in the orange reflected light of the ledge. In the passageway to the left of the ruins there are some handprint pictographs high on the wall.
