When driving west on UT-95, as you leave Comb Wash and start climbing the hill, there is a ruin visible on the north (right) side of the road down in the canyon. From the road, I had always assumed it to be a lone granary. I'd noticed it many times but never actually stopped to walk down and check it out. It turns out to be a pretty interesting couple of ruins as well as a rock art panel. Well worth the short hike to visit if in the area.

Access Note: There are two ways to access the ruin. The upper trailhead starts right off UT-95 and requires a steep, loose descent to the ruin. Alternatively, the lower trailhead starts at the Arch Canyon side road and requires a bit of sagebrush thrashing to reach the ruin. On my visit I was dropped off at the upper trailhead and picked up at the lower! This is an excellent way to do it if you have someone who doesn't want to do the hike and doesn't mind the drop-off/pickup.
