May 22 - Canyon de Chelly

Day 11 - We drove from Monument Valley to Canyon de Chelly in a dust storm and high winds.

The beginning of the storm

In many ways Canyon de Chelly is more picturesque than Monument Valley.  It has an interesting history and I would urge you to check it out via the internet at your leisure.  We are still on Navajo Tribal land and the bottom of the canyon is farmed by Navajos in much the same way as it was done in days gone by.  They also raise sheep, fruit and other crops to sustain themselves.

These are pictures taken randomly while at Canyon de Chelly of some of the valley farms, ruins and rock formations.  Enjoy!
