Chaco Culture National Historical Park

As you walk through the ancient ruins at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, take a moment to imagine the scene as it was more than 1,000 years ago — a big, bustling city that was home to thousands of ancestral Pueblo people. The remains of the tall stone walls still stand underneath the towering rock cliffs, giving a hint at the impressive engineering feats of these pre-Columbian people. This region was the center of the Chacoan universe, with ancient roads leading to other parts of the Southwest. Step back in time as you hike through stone buildings, examine rock art, and enjoy the views of the unchanged New Mexico desert landscape.
