Canyon de Chelly, another dream setting in full Navajo reservation. This impressive flaw scar the desert plain. The sandstone of the cliff is streaked by a gradient of red and ocher. This landscape can imagine the windswept dunes, and the slow process of erosion.

The White House Trail, a footpath leads to the heart of the fault. Marrying the curves of the rock, it descends, tortuous, up the canyon.

The cliffs winds El Rio River. There are also small green fields and villages of ruins dating from 350 to 1300, built into the walls. The White House is the most beautiful of them. Some are only accessible by underground tunnels or ladders.
