Review:
South Rim Drive is one of Canyon de Chelly National Monument’s main visitor vehicle access routes, accessible via Route 7 near the monument’s Visitor Center. Seven visitor overlooks are provided along the route, including an overlook showcasing the park’s most famous geologic attraction, Spider Rock, which rises 750 feet above the canyon floor and has been showcased in numerous commercials and advertising campaigns. Other significant sites along the route include the Tsegi Overlook, which showcases the remains of ancient Navajo farmlands, and Junction Overlook, which provides views of the confluence of the canyon with nearby Canyon del Muerto. The White House Overlook also provides hiking access to the White House Trail, the only portion of the canyon that may be explored on foot without a permit or tour guide.
