Show Low, AZ

Went to Canyon De Chelly from Painted desert .It is about 2 hrs drive from there and it's worth the drive. Canyon de Chelly also sustains a living community of Navajo people, who are connected to a landscape of great historical and spiritual significance. Canyon de Chelly is unique among National Park service units, as it is comprised entirely of Navajo Tribal Trust Land that remains home to the canyon community .


Spider Rock . According to traditional Navajo beliefs the taller of the two spires is the home of spider woman
