Navajo National Monument, Archaeological remains in Tsegi Canyon, Arizona, United States.
Three ancient cliff dwellings, Betatakin, Keet Seel, and Inscription House, rest within natural sandstone alcoves of northern Arizona's Shonto plateau.
The ancient Puebloan structures, constructed between 1250 and 1300 CE, demonstrate advanced architectural techniques using sandstone blocks joined with mud mortar.
The monument preserves essential artifacts and structures from ancestral Puebloan civilization, maintaining connections with present-day Navajo and Hopi communities.
Visitors need guided ranger tours to access Betatakin, while Keet Seel requires advance reservations and a strenuous 17-mile round trip hike.
The Betatakin alcove measures 452 feet high and 370 feet across, housing 120 rooms constructed into the natural cave formation.
