Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy…
Photographed from the overlook at the end of Sandal Trail.
Navajo National Monument is a National Monument located within the northwest portion of the Navajo Nation territory in northern Arizona, which was established to preserve three well-preserved cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Puebloan People: Broken Pottery (Kitsʼiil), Ledge House (Bitátʼahkin), and Inscription House (Tsʼah Biiʼ Kin). The Betatakin village is sheltered by a large overhang which is what you see here. The monument is high on the Shonto plateau, overlooking the Tsegi Canyon system, west of Kayenta, Arizona.
The Sandal Trail is an accessible self-guided walk that provides views of the spectacular canyonlands and rugged topography near the visitor center. Interpretive signs provide information on local flora and other topics. The 1-mile round-trip trail ends at an overlook of the Betatakin ruins across the 560-foot-deep Betatakin Canyon. The National Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
