NAVAJO GUIDES
HIKING - CAMPING - HORSEBACK TRIPS
(inexpensive) into the deep, steep canyons of Arizona's
high desert in and around Canyon de Chelly National Monument and the Navajo
Indian Reservation. We were raised in these canyons, and have been helping
visitors here for many years.
We'll guide you to the caves which are filled with spectacular ancient
cliff dwellings of the Anasazi Indians... ancestors of today's Pueblo
tribes... We'll take you to cliffs lined with exotic petroglyphs... artwork
etched and painted centuries ago, on the cliff-walls... perhaps of their
spirits and mythology.
Within the canyons, you'll see our Navajo people still farming and
herding our sheep and goats. Thrill to see our horses grazing and running
free along the streams in the canyon bottom.
Watch our people making their famous craft work: beaded necklaces, silver
jewelry, wool rugs, wood carvings, and paintings.
We
can arrange Nat. Park Service permits for hiking and for overnight camping
in the canyons (small fee). Horses are also available, or bring your
own. There are several first class motels near the mouth of the canyon,
and the Nat.Park Service has an excellent campground there, as well
as a helpful museum-information center and bookstore. Some 4-wheel drive
vehicles are available, but best to bring your own, if possible.
