Navajo National Monument

May 4, 2018

We are in the middle of nowhere just south of the Utah border.

A beautiful spot so decided to hang for a couple of days. We spent our days hiking into the canyon and viewing cave dwellings.

This is a historic contact station built in 1939. Obviously restored but served as a visitor station until 1965.

You rarely see these old style Hogans today. Its chief structural support is 3 poles with their forked ends interlocked at the top. Navajo tradition dictates that curing ceremonies can’t be held anywhere else.
