House on Fire

On Cedar Mesa, Utah within the Bears Ears National Monument, is Mule Canyon. Along four miles of its South Fork, are the remains of seven structures built by the Ancestral Puebloan civilization. They abandoned their cliff-dwelling life about 800 years ago, for reasons unknown. House on Fire was a granary, not a house. It is so named because the morning sun reflecting onto the flaked sandstone of the roof overhang creates a startling flame-like appearance..
