Other Anasazi ruins are scattered around the region & among them, Salmon Ruins, Chaco Culture National Historic Park.

More adventurous vacationers can check out Chokecherry Canyon, a sort-of mecca for off-road enthusiasts. Or tug on a swimsuit and visit Navajo Lake for boating, fishing and swimming.
