Hovenweep Poster Kansas Two seasonal rangers gave guidedDescription 14" x 22" poster Interpretive Copy When pioneer photographer William Henry Jackson first visited this remote canyon in 1874, he called it Hovenweep. The Ute Paiute word meaning deserted valley aptly described the abandoned towers built between the mid 1100s and 1275 A. D. by the ancestral Puebloans. The unique architecture of these well preserved structures led to Hovenweeps official designation as a national monument in 1923.
