Hovenweep National Monument (1697)

See the description of Hovenweep in a nearby summer picture. This was my second visit to Hovenweep and the first time in the winter.

Going in the winter was well worth it. The lack of foliage makes this area feel much smaller since you can easily see multiple structures at once. The lack of visitors (there were no other visitors in the park while I was there) means that the trails are very quiet, leaving much more time to reflect on what life in the canyon may have been like in the winter, in the 13th century.
