Pueblo Bonito from the petroglyph trail, Chaco Culture National Historical Park

The ruins of Pueblo Bonito reflect the spirit and ingenuity of the first Americans. The people that built this were descended from the Clovis people that lives here first, then after a prolonged period of drought, went on to become the Hopi, Pueblo, and other tribes that still exist in this region, and still follow many of the rituals of their forebears.
