Site Summary: Navajo National Monument provides access to two very well preserved cliff dwellings of the Kayentan tradition. Occupied from AD 1100 to 1200, these sites are some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan villages in all of Arizona.
Please note that the hike to Keet Seel requires reservations well in advance of your visit, as group size is limited on a daily basis.
