NPS Photo, Tom Lyttle Distance:From parking area: 3.8 miles (6.1 km) roundtrip (2 hours) Trailheads:Wijiji parking area and campground Elevation gain:Insignificant This trail leads to Wijiji, a later-period great house built around 1100 CE (common era). Wijiji differs from sites like Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl in that it appears to have been built at once rather than several building phases. When visiting, take note of the exceptional symmetry of the building and the uniform masonry. Common Chacoan features such as enclosed plazas and great kivas are absent at Wijiji.
