In Brief

After a brief vacation in Florida, visiting friends, we collected the trailer in Dallas and then headed North to Guthrie, OK, from there we followed Route 66 West. We spent time seeing many of the natural wonders of the South West as well as finding out more about the Native American culture of the area. We flew back from Los Angeles on May 24th.

Canyon De Chelly


Because the valley itself is sacred you can only go with Indian Guides, however there are couple of Rim Drives, which take you on a tour of a number of overlooks. It is about a 40 mile drive, but you can look down over the cliffs into the valleys and see the cliff dwellings as well as the nice flat valley floor up to 1000ft below. The most dramatic of the overlooks is at Spider rock, which is an 800ft spire, which stands alone on the valley floor. Quite an amazing sight.
