Little Colorado River Gorge

The narrow gorge of the Little Colorado conceals an astonishing depth.  The walls are almost colorless, gray, grim, and forbidding.  The Navajos regard it as just a part of their diversified land.  The visitor, however, views it with admiring eyes and awesome wonder. Both of the overlooks have rest areas with ramadas, fireplaces and tables to provide leisure for the weary sightseer.  Metal hand rails provide safety as the modern walkway takes visitors right up to the jagged canyon's edge.  Numerous native vendors sell their handmade crafts at both overlooks, and with a stop at the Navajo Parks and Recreation Visitor Center, you can gather information on the area's  rugged hiking and backpacking trails.
