Chaco Canyon and other Chaco Canyon National Monument, NM General Tips

Favorite Thing: The trip to Chaco Canyon was on the final leg of our tour through northern New Mexico.
We drove south from Farmington on highway 44 then took the dirt road turn off to the park ( a 45 minute drive on the dirt road ).

The drive into the park and out ( south to Interstate 40 ) is quite a journey . We did it in April.

When you get on to Interstate 40 you realize that you have been somewhere unique. The land is flat and barren .

Fondest Memory: Chaco Canyon is the site of the largest pre-European city north of Mexico . The Anasazi inhabited the scity between 800 AD and 1200 AD.

There were other tourists in the park when we were there. One lady from Vermont and four people from Germany .
