Description

The Mule Canyon Interpretive Site is a complex of ancestral Puebloan structures located on Cedar Mesa in southeastern Utah. Well-preserved Pueblo structures found at this site are over 700 years old. The complex includes above-ground and underground dwellings, including a kiva and tower that have been excavated and stabilized as well as a block of 12 rooms. The BLM has constructed a canopy to protect the kiva. Interpretive panels and vault toilets are provided.

The site is accessible from the highway with good directional signs. It is located on the Trail of the Ancients Scenic Byway (Highway 95), near the Texas Flat Road. The site is open throughout the year, and there is no admission fee.
