This park sits entirely on Navajo tribal lands. Beautiful ruins, Indian writings and phenomenal scenery are just a few of the perks you'll experience here. You can take a guide along with you, or use a private company for a canyon tour. It is simple to do, just head to the Visitor Center. There is camping available in the park for a fee. Pets are not allowed.
