After a ten-year hiatus, I returned to Chaco for the solstice again. I have a batch of friends up here, many archaeologists, who haven't been to Chaco and I figured it would be fun to show them stuff, even during this strange COVID time. Started out by hiking up the Fajada Overlook trail from the campground for sunset when we arrived on Friday.

Hiked up to the mesa top after the Wijiji hike with Larry just to check out the view. Didn't do the whole trail.

Randy, Mike, Rebekah and I strolled this easy trail to the end where there were great views of Fajada Butte. Was good to get a hike in after the lengthy (and stressful) drive....mine was about 90 minutes and 4-5 gallons of gas longer than it should have been. Where's the paved entrance Chaco??? Sheesh! :D
