Hi everyone! We traveled to an area of AZ called Chinle.It is in the middle of the Navajo reservation and has Canyon De Chelly there. The canyon is a very cool place with really neat rock formations and colors. The Indian people have lived there for well over a thousand years. We were able to explore the canyon and hiked to the canyon floor. Not bad for a couple of flatlanders, but the trip back up was breathtaking to say the least. The campground we stayed at was very primitive. No hooks up of any kind. The family that owns it have been there for nine generations. It certainly is a hard life living where the Navajo do. Nothing much around but desert. Hope you enjoy the pics.Gary & Penny
