Memorial Weekend in Chaco Canyon Cultural Monument

My next few posts will be about our trip to Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico. What an absolutely magnificent, magical place this is. I haven't visited since I was a young kid in the '70's. It was a terrific visit and the history... incredible.

Visiting in the spring was beautiful, with all the wild flowers in bloom. We did get quite a bit of rain while we were there but it kept the temperature down. Here are some pics of the wild flowers we encountered on our visit. Too bad I don't know the name of any of them.

As I get time I'll post photos and information about Chaco and the people that lived there.
