Canyon de Chelly National Monument
Fast Facts
Loading park details...
For centuries, the majestic canyons of this national park have been home to the Dine' community, where they continue to raise livestock and cultivate fertile lands. With a rich history spanning nearly 5,000 years, these canyons have been continuously inhabited longer than any other place on the Colorado Plateau. The stories of the people who call Tsegi home are woven into the very fabric of their dwellings and artwork, providing a glimpse into their vibrant culture. Through a collaborative effort with the Navajo Nation, we strive to balance the preservation of this unique cultural heritage with the protection of its breathtaking natural surroundings.
