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.

So wonderful that y’all are enjoying the beauty of our National Parks & historic sites. We should all enjoy the beauty we have right here in our own country! ๐๐๐บ๐ธ
