PanethosNational and Tribal parks in the Navajo Nation
Source: nps.gov Source: pinterestSome of the most stunningly beautiful landscapes in the entire United States can be found within the Navajo Nation. This semiautonomous region occupies 27,413 square miles in parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, with its capital located in Window Rock, Arizona – that’s a larger land mass than 12 different states.
Source: nnld.org/images/maps/Navajo_Nation_2020.jpgWithin the Navajo Nation are three National Park Service sites and six Tribal Parks. Each offers various opportunities and/or activities, a number of which require approved tour operators or guides.
Please adhere to all tribal laws while visiting the Navajo Nation and do not attempt to hike into wilderness areas on the Navajo Nation without a permitted Diné/Navajo tour guide.
As the images throughout this post attest, these national/tribal parks abound with amazing landscapes and impressive vistas. Be sure to always show the same level of sincere respect and care for these national/tribal treasures as any guest would or should when visiting a protected or sacred site.
Peace!
