Canyon de Chelly National Monument

Canyon de Chelly NM is in the NE corner of Arizona very near the four corners. It has a wonderful campground in the middle of Cottonwood trees. The scenic drive of the canyon and the ruins is spectacular.
Our last evening, we went to a ranger program conducted by two Navajo men. They told stories of the creation, the legend of the spider woman (rock formation in picture), and how the coyote put the stars in the sky. They also sang Navajo songs accompanied by drums. Loved it!
