After leaving Mesa Verde, we headed basically west, through Cortez, CO and then over to Hovenweep National Monument. Another wonderful spot. It was occupied during the same time period as the other dwellings in the area, ie. Mesa Verde, Aztec, 
but the inhabitants were Puebloans who were masons who built some marvelous towers and built them on boulders on the edge of an isolated canyon. The built them well because they still stand today. There is a small but nice campground there that can accommodate large rigs but the
re are no hookups. A two mile round-trip trail allows you to get fairly close to several of the structures. It is a “must visit” place when you are in the four corners area. The night sky is amazing there as the nearest town is 45 miles away
