Long hot hike, but gorgeous, especially when the clouds started coming in, casting some shadows across the canyon. Some serious winds were blowing in Escavada Wash, kicking up some salty sand, but in Chaco Canyon the wind was mild. The pictograph was really amazing, and the ruins them self were really neat too. Drank lots and lots of water - it was hot! Got back to camp just a bit before sunset, and we were pretty tired, after hiking part of the Alto loop, Casa Rinconada, and finally Penasco Blanco in one day. After completing this trail, though, there is only one backcountry trail in the park I haven't done; the South Mesa Trail. I guess it'll be on top of the list for next time!
