Summer Solstice

   (The following story is included on the back)

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: High atop Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico is a 900 year old petroglyph, known by archaeologists as the “Sun Dagger”. It is the only known solstice marker in the world that uses the sun at mid-day to mark the first day of summer. On that day, the sunshine passes through three huge slabs of rock to create a shaft of light which precisely bisects a spiral petroglyph.
