Chaco Culture (Day 2)

Yesterday I made it to the Chaco Culture Historic Park. Today, I leave the park and continue the last leg of my journey home.

The following are pictures from the campsite and surrounding area including a short hike up the Sunset Trail which, as the name suggests, should really be done at sunset instead of sunrise:

The last pictures in the series above show a bit of what the road is like leading out of the historic park to Highway 550.

I really would have liked to have spent more time at this park but I was only passing through and barely scratched the surface. Besides the hiking and many trails found here there are also many ancient dwellings worth checking out:

• Pueblo Bonito
• Una Vida
• Penasco Blanco
• Hungo Pavi
• Chetro Keti
• Pueblo Alto

Check out the Park Photo Gallery to see more of what I mean. This is definitely a great place to visit for those looking for a back-country adventure.
