Ramada & Fajada Butte

The roof of a modern ramada marks the end of the road for
would-be visitors to Fajada Butte. The "Sun Dagger" waits
near the top -- tons of sandstone aligned in antiquity and
mis-aligned by a few years of visitors' footsteps. Out-of-bounds
or not, Fajada Butte is the signature landform within Chaco Canyon.
