Canyon de Chelly, Arizona

Canyon de Chelly National Monument has been on my list of places to visit for over a decade.  When I drove across the country in February, I finally had the chance to visit this wonderful place that is located entirely on Navajo Tribal Trust Land.  And what a better way to see it than with snow on the ground!

If you looks closely at the second image, you will see a set of cliff dwellings that lie within the crevice in the middle of the cliff (center).  A different set of dwellings can be seen in image 4.
