Chaco Canyon National Historical Park

History of the Chaco canyon

Chaco canyon is a nice place to visit. The drive from Albuquerque is pretty long (almost 3 hrs one way), and it is really hard to do it one day. I have done in in the past both ways, as a quick one day trip, and as a camping trip. The campground is really nice. The park can be visited year round. There are many hikes to the surrounding pictographs and pueblos, and you can also bike on roads connecting the different ruins.

The camgroud has a front area - for large vehicles and caravans, and a smaller one in the back - for tents. It was very scenic, with cliff wall around and tons of petroglyphs on the cliff walls.
