Canyon de Chelly National Monument is a vast 83,840-acre park in northeastern Arizona, located on Navajo tribal lands.
The park’s most outstanding features are an 800-foot tall Spider Rock spire and massive sandstone cliffs that surround a lush canyon.
The area has been inhabited by several Native American peoples for thousands of years and is full of prehistoric rock art. There are remains of ancient Pueblo villages called today White House Ruins and Mummy Cave.
Almost vertical sandstone walls are up to 1,000 feet tall. There are several scenic overlooks and a number of well-preserved Anasazi ruins. The area offers fascinating insight into the life of the modern Navajo, who still live on the valley floor.
