About this hike:

The Wijiji Trail is accessible from the Gallo Campground in Chaco Canyon, or from the main entrance road. There is also a point marked "Bike Entrance", but they all lead to the same trail.

The exposed trail is flat, leading around canyon walls and towards an ancient ruin. A peculiar aspect of the ruin is the 3-foot thick walls. There is also a short trail from the ruins to an area of petroglyphs. The markings are fascinating but difficult to photograph. Overall, this easy hike provides another example of the interesting historical ruins in Chaco Canyon. Note that the authors explored the various access points, and so the distance represented on the page may be slightly high.
