Cliff Dwelling

May 29, 2017

Navajo National Monument is located on Navajo Nation in northern Arizona.  It’s home to several cliff dwellings created by the First People.  I would have traveled out of way to see one but, as it turns out, the RV was parked about 1.5 miles from Ledge House (Bitátʼahkin) .  How’s that for good karma?
