Hovenweep National Monument
Hovenweep National Monument
Hovenweep's unique towers remind many visitors of European castles. Interestingly, these ancient Pueblo Indian ruins straddling the Utah-Colorado border were built about the same time as medieval fortresses. The largest and most accessible of the 6 units of ruins is Square Tower, where several well-preserved structures are located. There is a system of three loop trails at the Square Tower Unit. Hovenweep National Monument is 20 miles north of Aneth on a gravel and paved road. There is one campground. Closest accommodations are in Bluff or Blanding. There is no entrance fee.
