After David finished up what work he could do in the morning with no internet connection, we decided to go and drive the South and North over look roads which had view points into the canyon. We have a tour with a local Navajo Guide into the canyon in the morning. The only trail in the canyon is closed for unspecified reasons. So we drove both roads and stopped at the various viewpoints for peeks into the canyon. The canyon bottom is still being farmed by 15 Navajo families. The winds were blowing hard and we felt like we would get blown off the overlooks into the canyon several times. Between the wind and the warm temperatures, we could see the river was flowing in the bottom of the canyon from the snow melt in the Chuska Mountains to the east. The canyon is very beautiful with dramatic vertical cliffs and swirling rock layers. We got some great pictures!
