Full Description
The House on Fire is an iconic site.
In all cases, this site is an amazingly preserved archaeological site. To view it at its iconic state we want to be there just as the sunlight comes around the corner of the canyon and illuminates the structure and the layered rock structure providing the protection for this site.
The differenent layers and colors of the rock wall capture the sunlight in just a way that makes it look like the flames of a fire are devouring the structure. It is a beautiful experience.
This experience requires a hike that is about one mile in length each way along a creek bottom. The hike is a bit of length, but it is relatively simple.
