Review:
Spider Rock is one of the Chinle region’s most famous landmarks, rising more than 830 feet above the floor of Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The red stone spire takes its name from the Navajo legend of the Na'ashje'ii Asdzaa spider woman, a figure of the tribe’s Third World legend who spun a silken web from the top of the structure and snatched up naughty children trespassing near her territory. In some variations of the legend, the spider woman is the figure who taught the Navajo people the art of weaving. Today, the formation is one of the region’s most-photographed sites, appearing in a large number of commercials and advertising campaigns.
