Westwater Creek runs down a long canyon on the west side of Blanding, Utah where a handful of ruins can be found inside of some of the alcoves. The ruins range in size from the famous Five Kiva Pueblo to ones of a single storage room or granary. This post will revisit the Five Kiva Pueblo and several larger ruins on the opposite side of the canyon that are within a few hundred feet.
