| no partners | | My friend invited me along on a guided trip he booked. His main target was Blue Canyon but we tacked on the big Taawaki(Dawa Park) petroglyph site to fill the 4-hour slot. The Hopi rules are that these places are open to visitors if acompanied by a tribal member.
Blue Canyon is certainly scenic with unique red and white sandstone boulders and hoodoos. It's also the site of the first Navajo Boarding School established ca. 1900 and we visited it's ruins. https://www.voanews.com/a/the-original- ... 77884.html

Our guide was excellent with knowledge of history, botany and geology.
I had been to the petroglyph site before but it's an amazing place and I hurried around taking video and pictures. I looked back now at the pictures I posted 8 years ago and was surprised to see I overlapped ~75% with that previous visit. But I really only remembered a couple of them...a benefit of getting older!
I posted a video of the petroglyphs (17min). [ youtube video ] |
