Junction Overlook
Junction Overlook provides a panoramic view of the point where Canyon del Muerto and Canyon de Chelly converge. The broad canyon floor with its cottonwood trees and small Navajo farms is visible far below the 500-foot cliff edge. First Ruin, an Ancestral Puebloan site, can be seen in the opposite canyon wall.

White House Ruin Trail
The White House Ruin is a well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwelling tucked into a sandstone alcove in Canyon de Chelly. The 2.5-mile round-trip trail descends 600 feet to the canyon floor, passing through a tunnel carved in rock. It is the only trail in Canyon de Chelly that can be hiked without a Navajo guide.
