Tsegi Canyon, Canyon in Navajo County, United States.

Tsegi Canyon consists of steep sandstone walls with a network of ravines extending through the Navajo National Monument at elevations between 1,836 and 1,928 meters.

The canyon supported numerous ancestral Puebloan settlements, which established their dwellings within the natural sandstone alcoves along the canyon's vertical walls.

The name originates from the Navajo word 'Tséyiʼ', meaning 'in between the rocks', reflecting the indigenous understanding of the geographical formation.

Multiple observation points provide access to view the canyon's geological formations, while hiking trails traverse the lower sections near Marsh Pass.

Local Navajo families initiated a land restoration project in 2018, removing livestock from vast areas to regenerate native plants and restore the canyon's natural ecosystem.
