We decided to see the Canyon via horseback. Our choices were jeep truck, walking, or horseback. All forms required a guide. Our Navaho Guide Ted and fellow college student rider from Wisconsin. |

This canyon was really a red beautiful wonder. To be here when snow run off water was running through it was rare and quite special. |

A closer look at the Anasazi ruins. The main reason for these cliff dwellings was security from their enemies. |
