Canyon de Chelly

Next stop - Canyon de Chelly and another free night at a nice campground. Arizona sure has its share of free campgrounds with running water. The next morning we drove both rims of the canyon and checked out all the overlooks - time well spent.

Running down the one accessible trail to White House ruins - fun trail!

Many people told us we had to go to Canyon de Chelly, and now I know why.
