April 12th, 2013:Canyon de Chelly, Arizona.

Bright and early the next morning we drove the South Rim Drive in Canyon de Chelly and stopped at several overlooks. The canyon lies within the Navajo reservation, and some of the local artists were selling their creations in the parking lots along the way.

Out near the end of the drive along the southern rim, we tried walking down to the canyon floor to see the “White House”, an ancient white-sided pueblo built into the side of the canyon wall. The walk was fun, but it was a long way down and back, and we ultimately gave up as we were both rather short of breath. In that area the desert plateau was about 6,000 feet high, and we just had not gotten used to the thin air yet.

From Canyon de Chelly we drove due North up to Moab, Utah, where we hooked up with Chris, our old college friend, to do some sightseeing.
