Hovenweep National Monument Tours and Activities

Hovenweep National Monument
Hovenweep National Monument
Way out in the official middle of nowhere, straddling the Colorado/Utah border is the National Monument of Hovenweep. It is located just north of meeting place of the Four States. Driving in from Colorado on a clear day gives distant views of Monument Valley to the west, Shiprock to the south, the the La Sal mountains, Sleeping Ute Mountain and the La Plata Mountains. This area is a hub of ancient activity with Mesa Verde to the east and Canyon Du Chelly to the west. Often overlooked due to its diminutive size Hovenweep is a crossroads on the ancient trade routes of the Anasazi.
We had to stop.

My room was very quiet and I enjoyed having the kitchen amenities and the balcony. The bed was average. My only negative comments are related to the unusually excessive daily damage deposit that I wasn’t expecting - big upfront unexpected expense! Also there was no bus cart for me to take groceries up to my room - but the bellmen would do it for a set fee. The pool was lovely, but closed at 7pm, which seemed early to me for summer. I enjoyed my stay, but won’t probably return to this resort.
