Hero: Montezuma Canyon South
small-sr Icon
Montezuma Canyon South runs along a cottonwood-lined Montezuma Creek, providing a portion of a scenic dirt drive from Blanding to Hovenweep. The graded road is easy with a few steep switchbacks and blind curves. Near the road's southern end is an area of ancient volcanic activity that scatters black igneous basalt rocks across the tan and buff sandstone typical of the area. The road has no dispersed campsites.
