Fajada Butte

The remains of a 100-meter-high, 230-meter-long ramp on the southwestern face of the butte would have made the climb up the steep cliffs much easier. Considering that this was a huge building project even when one takes into account the magnitude of other Chacoan sites such as Casa Rinconada and Pueblo Bonito, many people believe that the Butte must have had considerable ceremonial importance for the Chacoan people.
