Adventure Overview Vacation Resorts

Hovenweep National Monument
Superintendent, Mesa Verde National Park, CO 81330: (970) 529-4461;
Open: Year-round / Full-time range on duty at Square Tower.

Hovenweep, a Ute Indian word for "deserted valley", is a collection of large ancient indian cliff dwellings scattered between Utah and Colorado. A large community of early Pueblo Indians flourished here from about 300AD to 1250AD when extended droughts and possibly warfare forced them to move elsewhere.

Little is known about the inhabitants of Hovenweep except for the remarkable ruins they left behind. There are six predominant ruins groups, all remarkable for their square, oval, circular and D-shaped towers and multi-room layouts. Most are difficult to locate, consult with the ranger at Square Tower Ruins beforehand:

  • Square Tower Ruins - best preserved group and easiest to find in Utah
  • Cajon Ruins - Utah
  • Holly Ruins - Colorado
  • Hackberry Canyon - Colorado
  • Cutthroat Castle - Colorado
  • Goodman Point Ruins - Colorado
