The sign at the entrance to Chaco Canyon National Monument. There is very limited phone service in the canyon. |
| I drove 440 miles from Boise City, Oklahoma to Chaco Canyon National Monument in New Mexico today. The last 15 miles were on a minimally maintained washboardy rough gravel road that was nerve-wracking and overstimulating, so I was glad to park my trailer in a campsite and take a walk around the campground. |
 |
| Can you find the campground on this map? (Look for a small black triangle with a pyramid shaped 'tent' inside it.) |
 |
| The sky seems to go on forever here! |
 |
| This small dwelling was on the trail on the side of the campground. It reminded me of the Cliff Dwellings. |
 |
| In the alcove above the dwellings were the nests of swallows. |
 |
| On this ledge above the cliff dwellings are some petroglyphs. Maybe you can make out the outline of a horse. |
 |
| The campsites at the campground do not have electricity or water, but there is a clean restroom not far away. It doesn't have showers though! |
 |
| This is the campground's public library! Campers are invited to donate, as well as take, books from it to read. |
