NM 2009

New Mexico 2009

In March we drove to Las Vegas to visit Abby, Kate, and Jeff. On the way we stopped at Chaco Canyon, Monument Valley, and Zion National Park.

Chaco Canyon is one of the most interesting places we have visited. 13 miles of dirt road were worth it. We want to spend more than a few hours there. Information about Chaco Canyon
