10/01/2019 Canyons of the Ancients National Monument

Posted on by

We left Mesa Verde and headed over to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Outside the monument visitor center we visited Dominquez Pueblo and Escalante Pueblo. Then headed north to Lowry Pueblo and west to our destination, Hovenweep National Monument, where we hoped to get a campsite. Hovenweep has dispersed camping but we lucked out and got a site in the small campground on the canyon edge.
