Chaco Canyon

Brad brought this card from Chaco Canyon. Located in remote Chaco Canyon National Monument, New Mexico, Pueblo Bonito Ruin dates to the A.D. 900's. Pueblo Bonito was once up to four stories high, contained 800 rooms, 32 kivas (round ceremonial chambers) and was constructed of more than a million dresses stones. Here in Chaco Canyon, the prehistoric Anasazi people established a ritual and cultural center. The Monument occupies 34 square miles and contains 13 major Anasazi ruins and hundreds of smaller ones.
