Canyon de Chelly National Monument

This little gem of a national monument is tucked away in Northern Arizona. It is unique in that it is operated by both the National Park Service and the Navajo Tribal Trust. The Navajo consider the canyon a very holy place.

The Navajo still live in the canyon and access to the canyon is restricted to tours accompanied by a park ranger or Navajo guide (the only exception is the trail to the White House Ruins).

A trip to Canyon de Chelly (de-SHAY) is rewarding not only for great photographs, but for the spirit.

Enjoy the gallery and the accompanying travelogue! Leave a comment and please vote early and often!
