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.
For a very inexpensive and rare opportunity to be with Navajo Indians, to learn about them and the ancients who once lived here, contact the TSOSIE GUIDES: Sally, Cynthia, Sylvia, Hadley & Hank ... all registered "Tseyi" Guide Assn. professionals at Canyon De Chelly.
