Hovenweep National Monument is a small park encompassing several small sets of ruins in southeast Utah and southwest Colorado. The park was inhabited by the Anasazi from about 8,000 BC and then by Pueblo people until about AD 1300 before the site was abandoned because a prolonged drought eliminated the only source of water.
Square Tower Group
There is a visitor center at the Square Tower Group where ruins sit atop the edges of Little Ruin Canyon. A short loop trail goes around the ruins and then descends and ascends the canyon. Some of the ruins here sit in precarious places, including one structure that is on a large irregular boulder at the bottom of the cliff.
