Mule Canyon is a cluster of ancestral Anasazi ruins located in Bears Ears National Monument - Shash Jaa Unit near Blanding Utah. The well preserved Anasazi ruins found at these sites are over 700 years old.
This easy hiking canyon is home to a handful of Anasazi cliff dwellings, most famous of the bunch is House on Fire ruin. House on Fire sets under an overhang on the right side of the canyon about 30 feet above the wash. The ruin gets its name from the pattern in the overhang that resembles flames emitting from the structure. To catch the lighting just right, mid-morning (9-11am) is the ideal time to get to the ruin. House on Fire is 1.8 miles round trip.
