    Pueblo bonito is the largest settlement of its kind in the Chaco National Park and should be the most important part of a visit. It is unique in its size.

    Grandaddy of all ancestral Puebloan ritual sites. Damaged when large portion of mesa rockface collapsed in 1940. Exterior multi-storey walls still intact. Interior rooms fairly well preserved. Lotsa kivas. Built in stages between 9th and 13th centuries AD then abandoned. Architecture superior to anything in North America up to its time. No phone reception or potable water near site, but there is a unisex outhouse. Excellent ranger guided tour at select times.

    Spectacular Anasazi ruins!

    This was the best site out of all of them. Take your time and enjoy the history.
