NCWriter, your interests are very near the same as ours. We've been to all the places you have mentioned other than the Crow Canyon Center and the Anasazi Heritage Center in Delores, Colorado. I wish we had known about them before we visited all the sites. Next time in Colorado we will for sure go to those. Thank you!
You're welcome - we returned for a second trip for many we missed, and I am sure will be back for Round Three. Haven't made it yet to Canyon de Chelly.
My brother told me about Crow Canyon. He has gone a couple of times to spend a week on a dig. The one-day class takes you out to see a dig in progress. CC is near Cortez, and really an interesting place.
You'll like the Anasazi Heritage Center. The BLM had hundreds of archeologists working for years collecting artifacts before the canyons were flooded by the McPhee Reservoir - I read that the DAP (Dolores Archeological Project) was the largest ever in the history of the US. It's the center for Canyons of the Ancients also.
