Canyon de Chelly

Just got back from an amazing trip into Canyon de Chelley, in the Navajo Nation with Charles. It's an incredibly beautiful canyon that is usually impossible to hike into due to the restrictions put on outsiders by its Navajo caretakers. Nonetheless we got lucky and were invited in by some friends.

Among the highlights were the most amazing petroglyphs I've ever seen, the most interesting of which depict Spanish conquistadors on horseback.

We also turned traditional cuisine on it's head by created an extradorinary, groundbreaking camp food concept - the unthinkable burrito - featuring chedder cheese, granny smith apples, italian salami, and canned herring with jalapenos. Yep, that's right. It was delicious.
