Our group, from the San Diego Natural History Museum , made a tour of portions of New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. Our route took us from Old Town, in Albuquerque, to the Acoma (Sky City) Pueblo, the Hubble Trading Post, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, the Lukachukai Mountains, Mesa Verde National Park, Chaco Canyon, and Santa Fe.


Bison Skulls, Santa Fe

While some might call these buffalo skulls, don't do it around anyone who spends much time around a natural history museum. Buffalos are really, of course, the American bison, (Bison bison), the largest of terrestrial mammals on the North American continent.

Our trip ended in Santa Fe with a few hours of exploration of the colorful capitol of Santa Fe. Then it was time to head to Albuquerque and say goodbye to our participants.

Chaco Canyon Ruins

Chaco Canyon was a major center of culture for the pueblo peoples between 900 AD and 1150 AD. The Chacoans quarried sandstone blocks and hauled timber from the distant flanks of mountains; they created 15 complexes, the largest buildings in North America until the 19th century.


Chaco Culture National Historical Park is a United States national historical park. The ruins of the building make up the most dense and most exceptional concentration of pueblos in the Southwestern U.S.

The park, in northwestern New Mexico, sits between Albuquerque and Farmington, in a remote canyon cut by the Chaco Wash. The final 16 miles of road we took from the east side of the park were washboarded dirt. The effort reach Chaco, though, was worth it.

Fire in the Sky - Mesa Verde

In the morning, we thought the forest of burned trees we drove through was less than attractive. We changed our minds as we drove past the same trees at sunset.
