Navajo National Monument


We drove along the north side of the Grand Canyon, under the Vermilion Cliffs, across the Colorado River, over ridges, through canyons.  A Walmart in Page, AZ where we went house boating a few years ago, and on to Navajo National Monument, an out of the way, little known place of extraordinary beauty.  We are sitting at the rim of a canyon where Indian cave dwellers lived in 1300. There is no charge for staying here, no maximum stay... No reason to ever leave...




Even in this arid climate there are beautiful flowers and shrubs.  Sagebrush covers the prairies.  At this location we came across Rocky Mountain Beeplant, which is in the Cleome family.  Also, Buffaloberry shrub which is a beautiful silver green.
