Hike
Holly Trail from Campground, Hovenweep National Monument, Utah
View Original Description
This trail leads from Hovenweep’s campground to the Holly site through Keely Canyon. From the campground, follow the primitive trail through a slot canyon* to the canyon floor. The trail then follows along a wash, winding across it occasionally. About 2.5 miles in, the trail passes the rubble remains of a structure. The trail ascends through a second slot canyon* and crosses part of the mesa top to meet the trail at Holly. Hike on the trail at Holly (0.44 mile, round-trip), then return back on the campground trail. Parts of this trail cross into Bureau of Land Management land. Follow all applicable rules and regulations.
*This trail passes into two slot canyons. Both slots are about 18 inches wide and 35 – 58 feet long.
Average Time: 4 hours, longer in the high-heat of summer
