  "summary": "Ancestral Puebloan great houses aligned to solstices — IDA gold-tier.",
  "intro": "Chaco Culture National Historical Park has run astronomy programs since 1991, longer than almost any other unit in the National Park System, because the Ancestral Puebloans who built its great houses tracked the sun, moon and stars with remarkable precision. Its position deep in a remote stretch of New Mexico backcountry keeps the sky essentially unspoiled.",

  "highlights": [
    "Longest-running astronomy interpretive program in the National Park System",
    "Ancestral Puebloan structures with likely solstice and lunar-standstill alignments",
    "Exceptionally remote — one of the darkest sites in the Southwest"
  ],
  "tips": [
    "Access roads are unpaved washboard gravel — high-clearance vehicles recommended, especially after rain",
    "No fuel, food or reliable cell service inside the park",
    "Campground (Gallo) is the main base for overnight stargazing visits"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Milky Way over Fajada Butte and the great house ruins, plus telescope views of planets and deep-sky objects during scheduled programs.",
