When I lived in Cortez visiting Hovenweep was one of my most favorite things to do. Most of the time I went alone and hiked between towers. Though ancient, it has a very strong quality of being alive. Thanks for the beautiful images.

One of my absolute favorite spots in the four corners region! I get more a feeling of Deep Time there then Chaco, Mesa Verde, Walnut, de Chelly, put together. Best in the winter or early spring. What a sacred place... For all I can judge, just as Yellowstone Lake is the true living heart of the Rockies, Hovenweep is the true spiritual heart of North America.

How did it come to have the name “Hovenweep ?”

Truly a special place. The solitude and low visitation for a NPS site is remarkable. We usually camp there in early spring and late fall to begin and end our camping seasons.
