SUMMARY:Mysteries of Chimney Rock Tour
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DETAILS\nThe Mysteries of Chimney Rock Tour is offered on Monday and Friday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.\, and on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. This engaging two-hour tour will spotlight several topics aimed specifically at interpreting the history and significance of Chimney Rock and the ancestral Puebloans who inhabited the area over 1\,000 years ago. The tour delves into the connection of Chimney Rock to the greater Chaco Culture\, the significance of the mesa top Great House Pueblo\, and the day-to-day lives of the inhabitants of Chimney Rock. \nThe tour takes visitors along both the Mesa Village Trail and the Great House Trail to learn specifics about the structures along the way – their significance and uses. At the end of the trail\, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Peregrine falcons are often sighted on the left side of Companion Rock\, so cameras are a must! Of special note\, the tour will be conducted in the quiet off-hours of the Monument. The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient\, uneven footing\, and elevation ending at 7600 feet. The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill). \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nCheck-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated below for each tour.

SUMMARY:Night Sky: Stars & Galaxies
DESCRIPTION:STARS & GALAXIES PROGRAM\n \nThe Stars and Galaxies Program is offered on a select Friday each month when the earth is closest to the New Moon. When a “New Moon” occurs\, the night sky is at its darkest\, highlighting thousands of stars against the vast blackness of space – a unique experience here at Chimney Rock\, isolated from the artificial lights of modern-day civilization. A video presentation\, “Tour of the Night Sky”\, will facilitate identification of constellations\, bright stars\, and other objects of interest; to be followed by a presentation explaining the significance of the night sky to the Ancestral Puebloans. This special sky opportunity affords an exclusive view of heavenly bodies from a place where the Ancestral Puebloans lived and observed and studied the celestial skies daily over 1\,000 years ago. Telescopes will be utilized to observe several different sky objects in our Milky Way Galaxy\, which looks to the naked eye like a dense low cloud.  In actuality\, it is millions of light years away and contains billions of stars. \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nAt this altitude\, nights begin to cool rapidly after sunset\, so an appropriate jacket and other gear will enable you to remain comfortable. Also suggested are lawn chairs; a regular flashlight\, a flashlight with a red lens (available for $4); and blankets\, pillows\, cushions. Note: The program will be adjusted according to current weather conditions and take place as scheduled. \nTICKETS \nCheck-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated. Please adhere to the check-in timeline. The gate will be promptly locked at the end of that time. Tickets are $20.00 for ages 13 and up\, $10.00 for ages 5-12\, and under 5 are free.
