#174: Canyon de Chelly National Monument (pg 567; 2nd Ed pg 705)

Canyon de Shelly is a 130 square mile canyon with multistoried cliffside dwellings built by the Anasazi people between A.D. 700 and 1300.  These dwellings are the oldest houses in the United States.  

We decided to do the White House Trail.  Here is our view from the top.



It took us about 40 minutes to reach the bottom of the trail and we were treated to views like this.


Info:  Cost: Free.  Bring your own water on hikes.  There is a drinking fountain where you can refill water bottles in the Visitors Center.

Verdict:  Well, this may not be something you have to do if you've been to Grand Canyon, since this is sort of a "mini" grand canyon.  But honestly, it was VERY cool and we loved this hike and the time we spent here!
