of five major ruin complexes or groups that spread from Colorado into Utah,
the monument is noted for its solitude, clear skies and undeveloped, natural
character. The Anasazi who built Hovenweep are also responsible for
the ruins within Mesa Verde. Camping and day hiking permitted within
the park. Hovenweep is approximately 117 miles northwest of Aztec. |
