Traditions of the Sun: Chaco Culture National Historical Park lets visitors explore the park, learning about the Sun and Native American solar practices within a larger historical and cultural context.

Developed in collaboration with NASA and the National Park Service at Chaco Canyon, Traditions of the Sun contains nearly 300 photographs and historic images. In addition, dozens of QuickTime VR, timelapse, and composite images help tell the story. This interactive is available as a kiosk at the Chaco Culture visitor's center and at the Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores, Colorado.
