Beyond the Painted Desert, much of the far northeast of Arizona is barren and not particularly scenic, as the land forms wide, empty valleys interspersed by low, scrub-covered mesas. Three of these, named the First, Second and Third, lie at the center of Hopi Indian territory but most of the northeast is Navajo land, including Chinle which is the largest town in the area and the gateway to Canyon de Chelly National Monument. This comparatively little-known canyon is not as immediately spectacular as others in Arizona or Utah but it does have sheer sandstone walls rising up to 1,000 feet, several scenic overlooks and many well-preserved Anasazi ruins, and the area provides a fascinating insight into the present day life of the Navajo, who still inhabit and cultivate the valley floor.

Wonderful capture Lucinda, the green of the tree contrasts beautifully with the reddish brown cliffs. This image caused me to go look up information on the people who lived in these amazing structures. L/F
Lucinda Walter replied:
Linda, thanks much and so appreciate you looking up the people that lived there. Thinking I should put a line or two about them in the description.

Lucinda, This is such an amazing place. To ponder the life of the peoples that built and lived in those cliff dwellings. The canyon is so gorgeous as well. My wife and I were there a few years ago and loved it! FAV Jerry

Jerry, I'm so glad that we were able to take the tour of the canyon. It is so beautiful.
