WeatherThe weather in Chaco Canyon is inconsistent and unpredictable. Temperatures can fluctuate over 60 degrees during a twenty-four hour period.Summer highs are typically in the 80's. Summer thunderstorms can produce heavy localized downpours and sudden dramatic drops in temperatures. Hypothermia, lightning, and flash floods are real concerns. When you hike the canyon, be prepared for heat, rain, wind, and unexpected changes in temperature. Carry a rain poncho and a jacket or sweater. Wear hiking boots and a wide-brimmed hat, and use sunscreen. Carry and drink extra water. Take your time adjusting to the altitude and don't overdo. If you plan to camp in the winter, prepare for nighttime temperatures to drop into the teens or lower.
