Back and 1973 and 1974 I was part of the archaeological team that worked that site. What was amazing about it was the number of kivas on top of that mesa. The site was occupied twice. First by the original Chacoan builders and then by a secondary group who often excavated the floors instead of building up the walls. That large round kiva you were sitting in had burials all across the floor. We were down to the last few days of the last season and needed to trench below the floor, but every place we dug was another burial. The principle archaeologist on the site was Lonnie Pippen and he has published the results of the excavation. I believe the book is available through The Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada.

I know this video is about a year old, my gf and I are looking to do this but we’re driving in from CO so we’ll have a late start. Were there campsites along the trail that could be used if we can’t make it to the lake when we get there?
@EpicModeEngagedАй бұрын
Great question, dude! Your best bet would be camping close to the parking lot area (as you saw in the beginning of the video). There weren't a whole lot of spots along the way. Another would be the Cowles Camp area on the same road. This is also close to the parking area. Hope that helps

So how long was this hike? I look online and it says only 1/4 mile but it seemed longer watching your video.... to find it do we just type in Jemez falls trailhead? Is that were you began? Ok thanks for any info!
@EpicModeEngaged2 ай бұрын
Yes, great questions! You are correct. If you walk from the Jemez Falls Campground area, the walk is about 10- 15 mins. I wanted to put in a lot more miles that day & wanted to explore more, so I started from the Battleship Rock Picnic Ground. It ended up being 7- 8 miles roundtrip. You can find different trail maps on the Alltrails app. If you enter "Jemez Falls" it will bring up all the different trails offered in that area... some longer and some shorter. It all depends on the kind of adventure you want to go on. Hope that helps 👍

Maybe I took it wrong but did you continue to wanna use a hiking pack you considered to be a 7 in comfort? Any you rank higher here in that size?
@EpicModeEngaged3 ай бұрын
I did. Mostly for the reason that there isn't a "perfect backpack" where everything is a 10. The Pros outweigh the Cons for this, in my opinion. Also, there is a good possibility Osprey have made the newer version of this pack more comfortable. I don't have another pack that is 20L, however, I use my Zulu 30 tons more and it's very comfortable. Not sure if that helps
