| partners | | | Finally made it to the fabulous Keet Seel on our second try! Our first chance bad weather cancelled our permits and moved it to this past weekend. On friday night we made the drive up to the Navajo National Monument. On saturday morning we started our hike down after having got the mandatory orientation presentation by the NPS. The weather was cloudy the entire weekend making the temperatures much more comfortable. That also meant we had the chance of rain showers, which they did on and off on the way in. Great views on the way down the canyon, once we reached the creek we stopped for a 5 minute break and cached water for our way back. We then continued our hike into the canyon wading through water on and off, it took us around 3:20hr/min to reach our campsite. Later in the afternoon we headed over to the Keet Seel cliff dwellings, in which our Navajo guide Max showed us while telling us the history of this place and its ancient people. The site was amazingly well preserved and was well worth the trip. The following morning we made our way out and made it out in 3:30hr/min, under very comfortable overcast skies. Very happy i got this place off my bucket list! |
