Landform

Ancestral Puebloan granaries under a flame-textured alcove ceiling — a home site, not a treasure.

Field note

The granaries sit in the alcove. Morning light makes the ceiling look like flame. Stay off the walls and leave what was built. This is Mule Canyon, not a ruin to enter or take from.

House on Fire is a set of Ancestral Puebloan granaries in a Mule Canyon alcove on Cedar Mesa. Morning light on the ceiling gives the name; the rooms stay in place. Walk the path, stay off the masonry, and leave what was built. This is a home site, not a ruin to enter.
