You will be fascinated by the architecture and building techniques used by our early ancestors. Most of the buildings still standing were constructed AD 1230-1275.

The Hovenweep N.M. is located in dry canyon lands with high summer temperatures. Bring lots of water and sun screen. There is chance of encountering Rattle Snakes so use common hiking sense.
