Canyon De Chelly From Face Rock Overlook

Canyon de Chelly National Monument is located on the Navajo Nation and is about 84,000 acres of gorgeous land which has more than 4,000 years of human occupation. That makes this land one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America.

Canyon de Chelly has thousands of years of perserved culture like cliff dwelling architecture, artifacts, and rock art. The National Park Service and the Navajo Nation share resources and continue to work in partnership to manage this breathtakingly beautiful national monument. Canyon de Chelly National Monument is part one of Heaven aka the Navajo Nation.

Face Rock Overlook provides a dizzying glimpse of the ever-deepening canyon. Here you gaze 1,000 feet down to the bottom. The smooth top of this cliff shows how erosion has sculpted it.

Canyon De Chelly - View From Sliding House Overlook

Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "De Shay") in Arizona was established in 1931 as a National Monument encompassing three major canyons. The steep stained walls preserve ancient ruins of the once thriving Anasazi Indians. There are over 700 ruin sites, petroglyphs and cliff dwellings from the prehistoric Anasazi and historic Navajo periods.

The Navajo know this prehistoric Anasazi village site as Kin�hoozhi, which means 'Sliding House'. It is an apt description. The dwellings were constructed upon a steeply sloping ledge, and even the ingenius Anasazi builders were unable to keep many of the walls from slipping. Despite the precarious footing, evidence suggests that at one time this was a large village of from 30 to 50 rooms. Occupation of the site probably began around AD 900 and continued for about 300 years.

Navajo people still live within the Canyon de Chelly National Monument and farm the fertile valleys the way their ancestors did centuries ago. Natural depressions at the Sliding House Overlook collect water, still sometimes used by the Navajo.

Wheatfields Lake - Chuska Mountains

Wheatfields Lake is a lake in the heart of the Navajo Indian Nation in Arizona, just east of Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

Lake Wheatfields is one of the most popular destinations for fishing, camping, picnics and other outdoor adventures in Navajoland. You can cast your line just a few feet off the road, or you can drive around to the opposite side of the lake and launch your fishing boat near the base of the Chuska Mountains. Navajo permits are required, and can be purchased at the store on the lake.

If you haven't tried fishing on the Navaho reservation, it's time to make a trip. Lake Wheatfields may be a little out of your way, but it's well worth it. The scenery is breathtaking, and the lake offers excellent trout fishing.
