Viewing the ruins, hiking, camping, and picnicking are Hovenweep’s main attractions. Short walking trails lead to the ruins at Square Tour Group. The trails are also accessible to the elderly and handicapped with assistance. Hovenweep, a Ute Indian word meaning “deserted valley,” seems well suited to the remote mesas and canyons north of the San Juan River. The presence today of tumbled piles of masonry – the remains of many-roomed pueblos, small cliff dwellings and towers – and scattered refuse over canyon slopes tells the story of the sizable population that once lived in this now-desolate country.
