Canyon de Chelly
We spent several days in what is officially the Navajo Indian Reservation, but is locally known as the Navajo Nation. I think I like the local name best, because you really do get the feeling of being in another country, seeing hogans scattered across the hillsides, and hearing Diné spoken everywhere. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
We came particularly to visit Canyon de Chelly, a fertile wash among Navajo sandstone that has been inhabited nearly continuously for over a thousand years, first by the Anasazi, then the Hopi, and since the 1600s by the Navajo
