Description: A wonderfully scenic spot is this in northeastern Arizona, in the heart of the Navaho country- one of their strong holds, in fact. Cañon de Chelly exhibits evidences of having been occupied by a considerable number of people in former times, as in every niche at every side are seen the cliff perched ruins of former villages.
