Review:

Sliding Rock Ruin preserves an Ancestral Pueblo village constructed along the walls of Canyon de Chelly between 1050 and 1300 A.D. before the tribe left the region. Since then, additional ruins have been added to the site by other tribes that have used the area for agricultural dwelling, including the modern-day Navajo Nation. Tours of the Sliding Rock Ruin are offered by Navajo Nation tour guides, who elaborate on the region’s civic and archaeological history. The Sliding Rock Overlook, accessible via the national monument’s South Rim Drive, also provides spectacular lookout views of the canyon’s brilliantly-colored sandstone formations and cliff carvings.
