October 2018 - Day 4

Today we headed to Hovenweep National Monument (stands for deserted canyon).  We were supposed to have some rain coming in so we headed out early to hopefully beat the storm.  It was overcast all day but that made for nice hiking weather.  The trail that goes along the rim is about 2 miles and bypasses the structures built along the canyon rim.  These structures were built around the same time as Mesa Verde.  At Hovenweep, they built pit houses, pueblos, towers, and kivas concentrated at the head of small canyons. Pictures can be spread with fingers to bigger view.

Tomorrow we head to Valley of the Gods.
