在解說小冊上看到一則很美麗的傳說, 翻譯出來就不美了, 所以抄錄如下:
Before the beginning of this time, The People lived in the Third World. Life was hard. There was sickness, little food, and it was cold and dark. The Elders heard footsteps on the roof of their world, and became determined to find out if there was life beyond. In a special place they prayerfully planted a fir tree, which grew until it almost touched the roof of the Third World. Next, the elders constructed a ladder of reeds and placed it against the tree. They climbed the ladder, and made a hole in the roof with a sharp reed pole. They then sent Water Bird to see what this new world was made of. When Water Bird returned, she sang of a world of beautiful streams, lakes, mountains, plains, dry lands, other birds, plantes, animals, and much more.
Casa Rinconada跟前面幾個great house很不一樣。 這裡, 只有幾座小村落被挖掘出來。 這裡, 你見到的每堆土堆或小山丘, 都埋藏著一個個堙滅數百年或許再也不見天日的社區。
Pueblo del Arroyo是西班牙語village by the wash的意思, 也是James Simpson跟他的墨西哥嚮導在1849年命名的, 可能是翻譯自Navajo對這裡的稱呼。 它算是"Bonito-Style"裡最晚也最小的建築, 建於西元1025-1125年間, 是典型的great house, 但沒有great kiva。 夾在Bonito跟McElmo時期的交接處, 這裡的使用期間比其他的great house短了點, 約在1075-1250年間。
Petroglyph Trail接上Chetro Ketl的12號解說牌處, 所以在這裡我們是倒著順序看的, 從它的後院逛到前院。
