Description
Incredibly, these ancient ruins still remain standing…windows, support wooden beams separatinig floors - here, a minimum of two stories. Incredibly ingenious people who carried wooden beams to this barren area, created up to 8 story buildings of rock and motor, lived in these incredible homes. Some were business, trading for different items. Chaco Canyon was a hub of society for many Native American Peoples throughout the region. Arial photos actually show the city as a round hub of major trading. Around the 1500’s, perhaps from severe drought, raids…no one is quite sure, these ancient Anasazi abandoned their beautiful city and dispersed throughout the region. This canyon/ruins, are an amazing place to visit.

Stuart, you are so right! Chaco was the hub of a mighty nation of the Anasazi- the ancestors of Dine- The People! We lived there , or near there and loved it. What incredible people they were- the knowledge and brilliance of these people blows my concept of any people now! Thank you for your kind words!

I just love Chaco canyon and the nearby Fahada Butte. When one delves into the mathematics of the buildings and the 'Sun dagger' on the Butte, it's impossible not to be amazed! Very nice shot Debby!

You know I have been to Arizona many times but have never been to Chaco Ruins. After seeing your beautiful capture of them I will have to make it a priority on my next AZ trip. Congrats on your features, Debby.

Ohhh Stuart! I wanted to be an archeologist as a child. We lived just a little ways from this ruin and we spent much time there, what an exciting life you led!
