When we were planning this trip, Cheri was talking to a co-worker who had recently been there. She was giving tips on places she would recommend, and this was one of those don't miss it places.
This canyon is on the Navaho reservation, and you have to have a guide to go through it.
We started in town and had to ride to the canyon in the back of these trucks. It was a windy ride. When we got to the area where the canyon was, it was also quite sandy!
We were in groups of about 12, and there were a lot of people there, but the guides did a great job of explaining things and keeping people moving along.
Here's the entrance to the canyon. We didn't know what beauty we were about to see!
This gives you an idea of the size of the canyon. It was fairly open at the beginning, but had some pretty narrow spots further in. It also got darker further in as it wasn't open at the top.
The colors and formations were truly spectacular.
There is sand pouring in from above. We were wearing hats throughout, because sand kept drifting down on us.
This area is called the seahorse. Can you see it?
This was as we approached the exit,
It was an amazing place, and we all said it was one of our favorite stops. If you are ever in Arizona, be sure you visit here!

Stunning beauty!
It is fascinating how the water once made all these interesting sculptures in the sandstone.
I am so happy that you got to see so much of our beautiful state :)

Okay this one I think I'd have to give a miss, it makes me feel claustrophobic just looking at your photos. Very beautiful but a little scary!
Indeed! A place not to be missed!
