We headed up the South Mesa Trail in a counterclockwise fashion. This is an easy passage out the South Gap and then up the backside of the mesa. Once atop the mesa at Tsin Kletzin you have an wonderful view of the canyon...to the north is Pueblo Alto to the west is Pinasco Blanco and on the canyon floor is Pubelo Bonito and Chetro Ketl. Chaco is all about sight lines, lunar, solar and directional alignments.
The hike down affords great view of Casa Rinconada.
One of the great things about Chaco is accessibility...one of the not so great things is accessibility.
People do get a bit creative as with the circle within the circle shown here.
