Canyon d' Chelly National Monument

    Canyon d' Chelly National Monument preserves two gorgeous canyons on the Chinle Wash, Canyon d' Chelly (pronounced d'shay), and Canyon del Muerto. The site is sacred to the Navajo and the canyon floor can only be visited on a guided tour or on the strenuous White House Ruin hike. The canyon floor is still used for agriculture. Note the signs advising tourists to take their valuable with them as this park has had lots of problems with theft from cars.
