April 27, 2006 - Chaco Nat'l Park - Mesa Verde, CO.

After our continental breakfast, we ran a few errands than headed to Chaco National Park. This park was recommended to us by our neighbor Brian. We knew that 16 miles of the 21 miles was going to be dirt road, so we thought we would give it a shot since it was dry weather.


But, when we got to the dirt portion, we started down it and the road was to rough (washboard), for Big Red and Taylor. So, we turned around and decided to head to our next destination, Mesa Verde, CO.

16 Miles to go on a road that Red and Taylor would not be happy to travel on

We arrived late at Mesa Verde RV Park which is ½ mile away from the park entrance. We drove to entrance and the ranger told since it was so late, we would be better off in just doing the rim loop, which is 6 mile loop with several view point of cave dwelling, canyon views and exhibits. The park was so beautiful; we took a ton of photo, too many to put in this blog.
