Hi Mjh,

We are planning a trip to Chaco, our first, and would love to learn the most recent info. What do you think of a trip in November?

Thank you mucho,
M

P.S. And astronomy in November?

M-

November should be great in Chaco. It may be cold at night but warm in the day. There’s always a chance of rain/snow then, but probably not enough to ruin things. In fact, the ruins are even more amazing in a dusting of snow.

Chaco has an observatory and there are telescopes for anyone to use. See these entries:

Feel free to write again anytime. Let me know how your trip turns out. mjh
