Kristy, Claudia and Lisa, Thank you!! There are many cliff type dwellings on the canyon floor but the lighting was bad and I could not get a good picture. Next time I`ll take the tour to see them up close.

Great capture Denny! My family and I traveled to Canyon de Chelly 2 years ago and we did take a tour into the canyon. It was very fascinating. I am enjoying looking at your gallery of all the wonderful places you've been! #5712457
