Here is an example ruined dwelling...
The canyon itself....
This rock is called Navajo Fortress - apparently some Navajo survived a 3 month siege during the Indian Wars with US troops on the top of it!

Day 3 continued - Canyon de Chelly - North Rim
Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "de Shay" apparently) is in the north east corner of Arizona. It has been inhabited for thousands of years, and there are ancestral pueblan dwellings that are around 1000 years old built into ledges and overhangs along the canyon - the Navajo still farm the bottom of the canyon.
