Digging around in the archives, I found and am sharing some photos from Canyon de Chelly in 1995 which totally blew me away with its beauty. Hope you enjoy looking.
Larry B.
Chinle, Arizona Navajo name from original; meaning “Flowing Out”, located in Apache County, Arizona. Semi-arid climate area of 16.1 square miles.
Many nationalities reside here; 91.3 % Native American 6.4% White, minimal percentages of Black, Asian and Pacific Islanders. Gateway to Canyon de Chelly.
Canyon de Chelly National Monument Established in 1931 to preserve Archaeological sites and early history. It is located entirely on Navajo Tribal land and contains a residential community in the canyon. People have resided in the canyon for nearly 5000 years. The Park and the Navajo Nation work together to manage the land’s resources.
Free entrance but limited access in park. White House Trail (2.5 miles round trip) is the only public trail. (Currently closed). All other access by roads. Native guides and companies provide truck tours.
The canyon park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

One of my favorite places to visit, Larry. A very nice series noting the features throughout the canyon.

It's such a lovely place. I really like your first two images. I've been there several times but have yet to get the image of Spider Rock that I want.

I have always wanted to visit there with one of the biggest draws for me being able to photograph the White House ruins. Angel Adams image of those ruins has always been an inspiration, for me anyway. As you note, access to those ruins seems restricted due to road/trail closures, which has been the case for at least the last couple of years. I wonder whether there are any plans to re-open that access. Anyone know. Beautiful shots and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, and interesting!
Have you been there during the autumn? The yellow leaves add an interesting, and beautiful contrast.
