Chaco Canyon and the massive plateau of Chaco Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in McKinley County. Archaeological history is etched into the terrain, where numerous Indian Ruins and a Cliff Dwelling are documented along the canyon rim. The natural environment is defined by the ephemeral flows of Chaco Wash and Fajada Wash, which have carved deep drainages through the sandstone formations.
