Things to do in  Navajo Nation

Situated on Navajo land in the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in Arizona, Antelope Canyon is one of the best-known slot canyons in the United States. This natural wonder was formed by water over millions of years and has two separate sections: the deep (but narrow) Upper Antelope Canyon (also known as Spiral Rock Arches) and the Lower Antelope Canyon (Hasdeztwazi). With its colorful sandstone walls and winding walkways, it’s easy to see why the sight is beloved by photographers and adventurers alike.

Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park has appeared in Forrest Gump,2001: A Space Odyssey, and multiple John Ford westerns—but seeing its red-rock landscapes onscreen simply doesn’t compare to admiring them in person. Otherworldly sandstone formations, such as the West and East Mitten Buttes and Three Sisters, soar up to 1,000 feet (305 meters) above the desert’s endless stretches of shrubs and copper sand, creating picture-perfect views that have come to symbolize the American West.
