Ocean Beach
- Type: Place

Ocean Beach is a great hang. The sunniest months are September and October, but O.B. always draws a crowd. San Francisco tends to be cool and gray, even at the beach. During the late spring and summer months the coast can get fogged in, but it's still beautiful. Just remember to bring a hoodie and you'll be a lot happier under the fog dome. Running the length of the Sunset and Richmond neighborhoods, there's plenty of space at Ocean Beach for the whole family.

Una Vida
- Type: Place

Una Vida is one of Chaco's earliest great houses built around 850 CE (Common Era). Una Vida exists today in a near-natural state of preservation, free from major vandalism, and with only minor excavations and preservation repairs. A one-mile roundtrip (including petroglyphs) trail begins at the NE corner of the Visitor Center parking lot. Portions are rocky, steep, and slippery when wet.

Captive breeding programs have helped stabilize the population.

The famous Anhinga Trail is a self-guiding pavement and boardwalk trail winding through and over sawgrass marsh and freshwater slough. A paved path leads you along the water and to a looping boardwalk, providing views into the prairie and the clear waters of the slough. You may see alligators, fish, turtles, anhingas, and many other birds, especially during the winter, when the generally lower waters of the dry season concentrate aquatic wildlife in the slough.
