This is the third national monument in 4 days; the first two were free because they honored the Senior National Park Pass. This one required a dollar a head to make a reservation through Recreation.gov, five additional dollars each because it is on BLM land, and then there was $20+tax each for access to the Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Totally worth it.
We walked the entire 1.2-mile Cave Loop Trail and almost a mile of the Slot Canyon Trail. There was another 1/2 mile left that was blocked off because there was snow and ice covering it, just like at Carlsbad Caverns. Sally took over 70 photos, and I took around 60, including a bunch in vertical format. I narrowed mine down to about 30 and commenced to tweak them. Below are my best 12 with the sign above coming from Sally. Head over to Instagram to see the vertical ones.
The last one is an overview of the park from the Veterans Memorial Park, which was a 4-mile one-way trip further into the pueblo.
