... Lovely poster postcard printed by Lantern Press.. this canyon is located in isolated and remote high desert surrounded by Indian land... it preserves some of the most significant New Mexico ancient ruins and offers visitors an incredible look into the history of the ancient Chaco civilization... massive stone structures, ceremonial great houses, ancient road systems, and petroglyphs reveal the sophistication of the people who lived here more than 1,000 years ago... whether you are interested in archaeology, history, photography, or outdoor adventure, Chaco Canyon creates an unforgettable experience...over 99% of the park is protected as a "natural darkness zone" with no permanent outdoor lighting, preserving the same dark skies observed by ancient peoples a millennium ago... Thanks Shelly! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Created in 1907, Chaco Canyon National Monument became Chaco Culture National Historical Park in 1980.
Chaco (or Chaco Canyon) is a major pre-Columbian ancestral Puebloan cultural, political, and ceremonial center located in northwestern New Mexico that flourished between 850 CE and 1250 CE.
The Chacoan sites are part of the homeland of Pueblo Indian peoples of New Mexico, the Hopi Indians of Arizona, and the Navajo Indians of the Southwest.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
