Are really two Chimney Rocks in SW Colorado? I was not aware of that. I'd like to know. See this map of where the Anasazi one is. Also the Ute reservation is full of Anasazi ruins. Chimney Rock is one of the furtherest north Chaco Outliers (Lowry and Escalante are actually further north):

I am not familiar with the Escalante ruins, Kirk, but the Hovenweep Ruins, several sites, straddle the Utah-Colorado border. The Lowry Ruin (they built a roof over the site so it is not very photogenic) lies just a few miles north of Hovenweep. These ruins are more directly west of the Chimney Rock on SR 151, i.e. west and a little north of Cortez.

I am including an infrared photo (MACO with Linhof IV and Schneider 150mm) of the Holly Ruins that are part of Hovenweep.

Thanks Al. I just did (this spring) a visiting artist gig at Canyon of the Ancients and photographed extensively at Lowry, Sand Canyon, Hovenweep, Painted Hand etc.

Al, thanks for the info! Chimney Rock is now one more item on the to do list. That infrared is stunning.

Kirk, what are your impressions of Sand Canyon? I've been thinking of backpacking into that one.

So far, Chaco and Coomb Ridge/Cedar Mesa are the most impressive areas I have seen. I wish I could see them all, but I don't think I'll be able to in one lifetime.

Best,
Peter

I made this in Yosemite early May. I finally got a chance to process the film last weekend.

Both are fantastic Harley! The second one, for me, especially. Thanks for posting.
