The Lower Mule Canyon Ruins are located in the Comb Wash area west of Blanding, Utah. The ruins consist of 2 cliff dwellings and a separate granary that are spread out along a southwest facing cliff all within about a quarter mile of each other. The location of the ruins is in the lower end of Mule Canyon a short distance from where the mouth of the canyon meets Comb Wash.
An easy trail visits a few small ruins in Lower Mule Canyon, a scenic spot with off the Comb Wash road.
After walking about a half mile the road ends and a well beaten path continues climbing across packed dirt and slickrock toward the canyon’s north wall. As you ascend, views open to a couple structures tucked beneath an alcove two-thirds of the way up the north wall.
To get up there you can either make use of the moki holes that they carved into the sandrock or do a slickrock friction climb to the right of these where the cliff isn't quite as steep. We opted for the slickrock friction route.
