Chaco Canyon National Historical Park - Nageezi, NM

If you are interested in ancestral Puebloan culture you will want to visit this Natioal Historical Park where the history can be traced back to from AD 850 to 1250.  Remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial buildings, engineering feats, astronomy, artistic achievements, and distinctive architecture, it served as a hub of ceremony, trade, and administration for the prehistoric Four Corners area for 400 years–unlike anything before or since.

Chaco is remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial buildings, and its distinctive architecture. To construct the buildings, along with the associated Chacoan roads, ramps, dams, and mounds, required a great deal of well organized and skillful planning, designing, resource gathering, and construction. The Chacoan people combined pre-planned architectural designs, astronomical alignments, geometry, landscaping, and engineering to create an ancient urban center of spectacular public architecture - one that still amazes and inspires us a thousand years later.
