Canyon de Chelly: where the quiet trail meets a front-row roar of history. This landscape is a masterclass in the finer (and weirder) things, proving that culture really is the best conversation. A vivid, painterly education in desert soul. 🏜️✨ #CanyonDeChelly #RefinedAndWild

Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly: The Smart Traveler's Alternative Northeastern Arizona’s Canyon de Chelly National Monument and Monument Valley Navaho Tribal Park are uncrowded Grand Canyon alternatives.

Give the crowded Grand Canyon a break and steer toward Arizona’s Canyon de Chelly, where the 4WD tours are so bone-rattling, they're called shake-and-bakes. #travelsky #canyondechelly #arizonaparks #overtourism

The White House Ruin cliff dwelling in Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo Nation, Arizona.
This is the only hike into the canyon that is allowed without using a Navajo guide.

Detail of Figure 1 showing, in full, the two “Spanish greyhounds,” the dog master, and a second breed of dog. Dix, A. S. (1980).

Dix argues that a pictograph suggests possible evidence of Spanish war dogs at Canyon de Chelly, AZ, along with greyhound remains at other Southwest sites. Read how this may support historical accounts on Mexico’s northern border. #SWArch #CanyondeChelly buff.ly/48trbeB

White House Ruin - Canyon de Chelly, Arizona
#canyondechelly #ruin #arizona #pueblo #navajo #architecture #photography

The #AntelopeHouse ruins look so #small from the rim of #CanyonDeChelly on the #Navajo reservation, yet parts are at least two stories high, and may have been four stories high when the #Anasazi lived there. It's an amazing area. #BlueSkyArtShow #NativeAmerican #photography #EastCoastKin

The White House.

This is the March image in my 2026 calendar, "The Public's Land." Canyon de Chelly is owned by the Navajo Tribal Trust, but it was designated a national monument (1931) and is managed by the National Park Service. Link in the first comment #photography #navajo #canyondechelly

Canyon de Chelly Wash" Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 2025 35 x 39 in About the Painting Hiking through Canyon de Chelly is a much more personal experience than in the Grand Canyon. Often, I am all alone, surrounded by steep canyon cliffs on all sides. Every turn in the trail opens up a new vista of running water, green cottonwood trees, and pink sandstone. If you are lucky, you can see ancient carvings and homes carved into the side of the cliffs. https://www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/canyon-de-chelly-wash

“There is beauty before me, there is beauty behind me. There is beauty to my left, there is beauty to my right. There is beauty above me, there is beauty below me. There is beauty around me, there is beauty within me. One that forever lives the trail of harmony and greatness.”

Some interesting sandstone features across the valley from Canyon de Chelly National Monument. Maps refer to the area as Tse Lichii Dah Azka and T-Bone Butte. I need to go in the morning sometime.

Photo of the day: White House Ruins in Canyon de Chelly Tribal Park. We visit here every time we get a chance. #CanyondeChelly #TribalParks

A cave made of red rock, that has a red rock cliff dwelling made of red rock stones and wooden beams.

We have been traveling since the beginning of the month through the SW, mainly in Arizona, New Mexico and now Utah. This is one of my favorite of many great pictures. A cliff dwelling seen at Canyon De Chelly in Arizona. There is magic in the SW. #Arizona #cliffdwelling #canyondechelly #navaho

The Rock Divider - Arizona's "other" canyon is a spectacular place to visit. (this panoramic photo probably won't look as impressive if you're viewing on a phone)
