A full day excursion is the best way to see Hovenweep's unique towers on Trail of the Ancients
Hovenweep may be reached via paved roads through either McElmo Canyon or by way of Pleasant View. Check on road conditions, as heavy rains or snow can make the Pleasant View route impassable.
Services in the Square Tower complex include a Visitor Center, small bookstore, picnic shelters, restrooms and water. An excellent video, shown in the visitor center, provides a fascinating overview of the Hovenweep area. A campground is also located at the Square Tower group.
