The iconic "House on Fire" located in the South Fork of Mule Canyon on Cedar Mesa, Utah.

I made my first visit to the House on Fire Ruin in the south fork of Mule Canyon on October 23, 2013.  I had visited Moon House that morning then stopped by House on Fire later that day.  This was early in my hiking “career” and I was quite proud of myself that day!  It was a beautiful spot and one that I will never forget.  During both my visits to house on fire I took photos with my Fuji travel camera.  Below are some of my photos from that first visit.  

I made my second visit to House on Fire on March 23, 2014 when Billy Ward and I hiked the South Fork of Mule Canyon so Billy could see this iconic site.  We got there a little early and the sun was not quite in the best condition.  We waited about 45 minutes and finally got some better light.  The roof of the rock-shelter really does look like it is on fire when the light hits it just right!
