   This is about a half mile walk from Pueblo Bonito but is well worth it. The Kiva here is larger than the one in the main village. the ruins don't look as inspiring from the parking lot but they are indeed fascinating. On your way back to Pueblo Bonito there is some pictographs for you to look at. See more..

6. 4.5 The Black Place (4 reviews)
   - The Black Place of Georgia O'Keeffe
   Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
   This is a fascinating geologic formation in the Bisti Badlands in Navajo country, New Mexico. The area was one of the favorites of Georgia O’Keeffe for several of her paintings, and she traveled here many times. It is about 100 miles slightly southwest of Abiquiu which was her home. We visited here in September and left from the Abiquiu area. In Abiquiu take US 84 north to New Mexico 96; turn left on NM 96 and take it southwestward to US 550 just past La Jara. (You will go by Cerro Pedernal, a narrow mesa that was also one of O’Keeffe’s favorites.) Drive US 550 westward to Mile Marker 111 near Counselors and Nageezi. You will go past some fracking areas as you approach the black, white, and grey hills. The formations are on both sides of US 550 and are fenced off from the right of way. We didn’t climb the fences but took plenty of pictures. If you are a fan of Georgia O’Keeffe, this is a worthwhile out of the way excursion. See more..
   
7. 3.5 Lybrook Badlands (3 reviews)
   - Badlands - Not South Dakota
   Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   The badlands are along the road that you are traveling from Chaco to Albuquerque. Pull off on the side and take a look at the colors in the rock that changes. Won't take long but it is better to stop than to take a photo at 65 MPH. See more..
