Aztec Ruins National Park

The “Middle Age” of the Anasazi Culture resided here in the three rivers area of San Juan County.  The ruins and reconstructed Great Kiva as Aztec National Park offers great insight into this once prosperous culture which mysteriously disappeared.  More information is available at https://www.nps.gov/azru/index.htm.

Flying Tour of Chaco Canyon Road and Other Sites

We are working with Rotary Club member Doug Dykeman, a retired archeologist, to provide you a self-guided tour to view the ancient road that led from Chaco Canyon to the Four Corners area along with other ancient sites that can be enjoyed from the air. 

We intend to provide you with a map with waypoints, a list of lat/long locations of the waypoints, and a mp3 audio file that you can stop and start as your reach each waypoint.  The audio will describe the history of each site marked.
