The dramatic White House ruin in Canyon de Chelly National Monument is one of the few that you can easily hike to from the canyon rim. If you’re visiting the park, make sure you take the time to do this hike. Or better yet, hire a Navajo guide and backpack the length of the canyonβ€”it’s a far more amazing experience!

Ancient cliff dwellings are nestled in massive red rock formations with a lone tree in the foreground.
