Navajo National Monument
Navajo National Monument is located within the northwest portion of the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona.
Navajo National Monument preserves three of the most intact cliff dwellings of
the ancestral puebloan people (Hisatsinom). The Navajo people who live here
today call these ancient ones Anasazi. The monument is high on the Shonto
Plateau, overlooking the Tsegi Canyon system in the Navajo Nation in Northern
Arizona. The monument features a visitor center, two short self-guided mesa top
trails, two small campgrounds, and a picnic area. Rangers guide visitors on free
tours of the Keet Seel and Betatakin (Bitát'ahkin in Navajo) cliff dwellings.

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 1.6
km round-trip trail ends at an overlook of the Betatakin ruins across the 560
feet (170 m) deep Betatakin Canyon. The National Monument was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
