An overlooked place within Chaco Culture: Una Vida.

WHY IT’S INTERESTING

Una Vida is one of Chaco's earliest great houses built around 850 CE (Common Era). Una Vida exists today in a near-natural state of preservation, free from major vandalism, and with only minor excavations and preservation repairs. A one-mile roundtrip (including petroglyphs) trail begins at the NE corner of the Visitor Center parking lot. Portions are rocky, steep, and slippery when wet. Take water and travel in small groups to lessen our impacts to this fragile
