Aztec Ruins National Monument – Aztec, New Mexico
June 15, 2012
Yesterday we drove the motorhome the about 60 miles from Durango, Colorado to the Cottonwood Campground at Navajo Lake State Park at Navajo Dam, New Mexico.
Along the way, we stopped at the Aztec Ruins National Monument in Aztec, New Mexico. You can read all about this place by clicking these two links

It’s a fascinating set of Anasazi ruins. Get you wondering how much different the environment in that area must have been when they were thriving.
Still, Mesa Verde (what little of it I saw) and the more obscure cliff dwellings hold a more alluring lore to them.
Be sure to check out Chaco Canyon if you can.
Good travels!
