Canyon de Chelly

Canyon de Chelly National Monument has a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural significance. Its towering sandstone cliffs, carved by millennia of wind and water, cradle verdant canyons teeming with life. Ancient Puebloan cliff dwellings and petroglyphs whisper tales of past inhabitants, while present-day Navajo families continue their longstanding connection to this sacred land.

Visitors can explore the rim drives offering breathtaking vistas, embark on guided tours into the canyon depths, and experience the enduring spirit of Canyon de Chelly. You can only go down into the canyon with an Indian guide. We have visited the rim views in a past trip to the canyon so this time we rented a guide who drove us in his jeep. His family has lived in the canyon for generations and he was very knowledgeable on the canyon.
