Scenic View/Photo Spot

Horseshoe House is a D-shaped building with a secondary round structure inside the middle portion of the building. Since there seems to be no exterior entry in any of the walls, more than likely entry was through a roof-top hatchway.

The unique stone towers and other buildings at Hovenweep are extremely fragile. To help preserve them, please remain on trail and do not enter or touch any structure.
