    Nice shot! The Hovenweep towers are very cool. There are remains of similar structures in nearby McElmo Canyon.

    Thanks, Durango. I have driven along McElmo Canyon but never inspected it for ruins. Are they between the trading post and Aneth?

    There are some tower remains just before the trading post atop some large boulders beneath the western end of Cannonball Mesa. There are also some up Yellowjacket Canyon north of the trading post.

    I'll have to check these places out, Steve, maybe this spring. Thanks!
