Call and request her. She's a trained, educated archeologist on the staff there and I believes leads most of the trips into Chaco Canyon. WELL worth paying to have someone else drive the road FULL of ruts and to point out the high points about what you're seeing. She could answer all questions and then picks up on your interests to see sights. This was definitely a high light of our trip to the SW Indian sites, and Tori pulled together all the stories of the cultures.
