For some unusual hikes to ruins, check out
House on Fire on UT 95 about 15 miles west of Blanding, UT. About one mile down a fairly flat hike in the South Branch of Mule Canyon to the first ruin (House on Fire). Many more if you want to hike the entire length of the canyon. While interesting, the "official" Kiva is a mile or two past the dirt road to the parking for the hike up the canyon.
Another hike to a ruin in the area is south of UT 95 on Cigarette Springs road, which is off UT 261 near milepost 20. Around 3.4 miles down Cigarette Springs Road is an area you can park for the hike. A bit more difficult than the hike to House on Fire, but an interesting ruin. Some useful directions
