Hike Stargazing at Hovenweep National Monument, Colorado

Summer stargazing is a must if the night is clear. Nights are cooler but typically not cold. Although cloudy skies are common, mid-summer is perfect to spot the Milky Way arching overhead. Hovenweep trails are open sunrise to sunset daily. Stargazing and exploring the night sky is allowed from the visitor center parking lot and campground only. No ruins or structures will be visible from the campground or parking lots. Night photography off the paved sidewalk requires a special use permit issued by the superintendent. Astronomy programs are typically offered in summer, weather permitting. Check stargazing page for more information and events.
