Keet Seel is one of the great backpacking trips to experience a beautiful sandstone canyon, a babbling desert creek, and very well preserved cliff dwellings.

We drove up after work on Friday and car camped at Navajo National Monument north of Tuba City.

On Saturday morning, after a ranger orientation, we hiked the moderate 8.5 miles to a camped site across from the ruins. The trail heads up pretty Betatakin Canyon with numerous creek crossings and some minor ups and downs.

After we set up camp, we met the ranger and enjoyed a guided tour of Keet Seel.
The site is pretty amazing and the Navajo ranger answered all of your questions about the ancient Anastazi inhabitants.

On Sunday, we got VERY early start and hiked the same way out so we could join the 10:30 am Betatakin ruin tour.
