Info about Chaco Canyon and other sites in NM

Chaco is an amazing place, but it is remote, as Agesilaus points out.

But there are plenty of Ancestral Pueblan sites in the region that are more accessible. Just a few:

-Navajo National Monument, AZ
-Mesa Verde, CO
-Aztec National Monument, NM
-Bandelier National Monument, NM

Chaco is down dirt road, not sure how long; 10 or 15 miles anyway. The road condition varies from sandy but generally OK, when it's just been graded. To very rough and rutted. Not sure I'd want to take a big Class A down it.

Parks have personalities, or rather the park rangers do. I suspect this is a reflection of the guy in charge at the park. But when we were there the place was being run by a very unpleasant bunch of rangers, that was several years ago and the staff could have completely changed by now. IT soured my opinion of the park anyway.

And we have been to many ancient indian ruin parks and frankly they all look alike after the 8th or 10th version. I know I'm going the hear it about this comment.
