This concept is hard to understand for some people until one has visited the park. The place is so unique and one of the true places left that you can find absolute quiet, that the thought of improving the road is just not an option. Yes, things will shake loose in your rv and you will get some dust inside and don't try and cross the river crossing after it has rained, but I encourage you to visit Chaco if possible.
NCWriter, Autumn is a great time to visit, my favorite time to be there. Summer is much too hot and the Fall evenings are crisp. If things are like they were the last time I was there, plan your trip for the Autumn Equinox. You will be treated to a real show if you enjoy people watching. My last visit was during Equinox and a group from California was in there beating drums around a group campfire and facing the morning sunrise and chanting. Apparently, they believe Chaco to be a vortex or power point on Earth, etc. Anyway, my six year old daughter got a real charge out of the whole thing. Each to his own, I guess.
