Create an itinerary including Chaco Culture National Historical Park
Explore the architectural remains of the Pueblo people from 850 CE to 1250 CE preserved at Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Inscribed on the World Heritage List, the park is significant for its ceremonial structures and impressively advanced engineering. Marvel at the quarried sandstone blocks and hauled timber constructions, a testament to the Pueblos' sophisticated understanding. Tourists can opt to tour by foot or by bike and are welcome to partake in campfires and stargazing. The road to the park is quite rough, so expect the trip to require skilled driving. Once there, you'll find plenty of trails to hike and petroglyphs to appreciate. Come prepared with comfortable shoes for the long walks and be sure to pack food and water. Put Chaco Culture National Historical Park and other Nageezi attractions into our Nageezi trip planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

  • Huge surprise to me as the extent of their influence. World Heritage Sight. Magnificent culture. Built 4 story plus multi acre complexes, Roads and dams Cultivated cultural and trade center. Yes the road is rough 😂 Get here early and plan a whole day or 2. Several long hikes so bring a lot of water. Awesome 😎
  • Huge dwelling complexes, with ruins of 4 story buildings. Hundreds of rooms. Nice visitor center. Clean. The only bad thing about this place is the access of a 20+ mile dirt road. Although maintained it can get muddy and impassable during summer Monsoon season.
