Canyons of the Ancients is 164,000 acres managed by the BLM. Within that area,
a few tiny pockets of land are under the supervision of the National Park Service.
Hovenweep is a Ute word meaning “deserted valley”.
This is the Cutthroat Castle, which is accessed via the same dirt road as Painted Hand.
Beyond these sites, I followed the loop road thru Hovenweep and Negro Canyons.
It turned out to be pretty rough going in some spots, but all very exciting.
