 Out west day 5: canyon de chelly

Canyon De Chelly was a place where I did not know what to expect, I just knew that it was on our route to our next destination. Wow, it was a great surprise!

Green and red landscapes everywhere. Vast canyons to look at. Dizzying cliffs to experience (all with a safe guard rail, but still).

We talked to a local who was selling jewelry and little models of the historical houses. She gave us a little glimpse into the people who lived there.

My favorite place to see was spider rock. Probably because I love places and things that are tied to stories.

“According to Navajo legend, Spider Woman lives at Spider Rock in Canyon De Chelly. She was first to weave the web of the universe. She taught the Navajo how to weave, how to create beauty in their own life and to spread the "Beauty Way" teaching of balance within the mind, body & soul.” -this was found somewhere on the internet.

A stunningly beautiful place.
