Mule Canyon Wilderness Study Area

Mule Canyon Wilderness Study Area is a stunning natural wonder located in southeastern Utah. This area is known for its rugged terrain, towering rock formations, and ancient ruins that date back to the Ancestral Puebloan culture. The wilderness study area is a popular destination for photographers who are looking to capture the beauty of the desert landscape. Some of the most popular photography locations in Mule Canyon include the House on Fire Ruin, which is a unique rock formation that appears to be on fire when the sun hits it just right, and the Mule Canyon Ruins, which are a series of well-preserved cliff dwellings that offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Puebloan people.
