| Canyon
de Chelly |
| A truly magnificent
sight to see. The walls of Canyon de Chelly reach
almost 1000 ft. and is about 26 miles long. Within
the canyon lies over 7,000 archeological sites.
Parts of the cliffs are covered with ancient pictographs
and huge stone formations rise hundreds of feet
above the ground. The Pueblo people constructed
cliff dwellings 2000 years ago and then departed
due to climate changes, so some claim. Scheduled
hikes are available. - 520-674-5500 |
| Dinosaur
Tracks |
| About a 10 minute
drive west of Tuba City in the Northwest part
of the Navajo Nation, you will see a sign for
dinosaur tracks. Over 200 million years ago dilophosaurus,
carnivorous reptiles made imprints in soft mud
which eventually hardened over time and became
sandstone. No cost to see them and they're pretty
cool. - Tuba City |
| Four
Corners National Monument |
| Here you'll find
a slab of concrete imbedded into the ground marking
the only spot in the United States that four states
meet at one corner. In the summer over 2,000 visitors
a day visit this monument just to spend about
20 minutes for pictures. The monument is administered
by the Navajo Nation parks and Recreation Department
- 520-871-6647. |
| Monument
Valley |

formations decorate the monument. The Mittens

acre Navajo Tribal Park. The park has a 100 site
campground that is open from May - October. There
