Canyon de Chelley National Monument
Sheltered
at the base of sheer red cliffs and in canyon wall caves are Anasazi cliff
dwellings and villages that were built between AD 350 and 1300. Visitors
to the monument have the chance to learn about Southwestern Indian history
from the earliest basketmakers to the Navajo Indians who still live and
farm in the canyon. Canyon de Chelley is located approx. 149 miles west-southwest
of Aztec. |
