When one travels the deep back country of the Navajo Nation in Arizona, one never knows what one will come across. Especially if a visitor is not a part of the Navajo Tribe, as I am most definitely not. Such is the case with these twin rock formations.
I needed to get from Canyon de Chelly in Northeastern Arizona to Farmington, New Mexico on semi-urgent business. I was going to take the 2 lane highway near the National Monument north to another highway, then drive east into New Mexico. A park ranger, herself a member of the Navajo Nation, suggested a shorter route that would take me through the Nation’s back roads. Being an adventurous soul, I decided to take her advice.
And am I glad I did. I saw some beautiful country that took me past special rock formations and cliffs and high up into the mountains before dropping me into the plains of northern New Mexico. I have share a couple of previous photos from this trip before…and now you can add this one to that list.
Don’t ask me the name of these rocks, for I surely can’t tell you, and even if I could, I am sure I could not pronounce the Navajo name. No matter. I am just happy I got to see the sights.
