For our third day in Bluff, we reserved a full day combo hiking and touring of Bears Ears with Wild Expeditions. Our guide, Eli, loaded us into a 4-wheel drive van and off we went. Our first stop was a popular hike to the House of Fire ruin. This is an easy trail to access, and often there are lots of cars parked along the road and many of hikers. Eli told us it's the result of social media creating more interest in Bears Ears hikes. Even in this somewhat off season, we encountered more than usual visitors
"swarming" Bears Ears sites (we, of course, are "explorers"!). Here's a bunch of photos from the trail and the ruin.
If we waiting an hour or so, the sun would have hit the site and the full meaning of House on Fire would have been revealed. However, we opted for more sites than waiting.
Finally, a small tree "growing" out of a boulder...
