And in Florida's Everglades National Park, the Miccosukee-owned Buffalo Tiger Airboat Tours operates within tribal wetlands about an hour west of Miami. Up in the Last Frontier, the Huna Tlingit guides at Alaska Native Voices work closely with park rangers, lodges, and cruise ships to share their knowledge of Glacier Bay National Park through storytelling, singing, and crafts. In Arizona's Monument Valley, Navajo guides Harold and Deborah Simpson own and run Simpson's Trailhandler Tours, taking guests through the natural arches and across the stunning plateaus. Appaloosa horseback rides and immersive two- and three-day adventure tours are also available. In Idaho, the Nimiipuu women-run outfitter Nez Perce Tourism contextualizes this part of its staffers' ancestral homelands while digging into the tribe's 16,000-year history. And across the United States, the descendants of those who lived here first can explain the landscape and centuries of tradition like no one else. How well any of us connects to a destination often comes down to having the right guide. Indigenous-driven companies offer an essential point of view for travelers to native lands.
Better yet, hire a Navajo guide to take you on a horseback tour of the canyon. There are a handful of overlooks that rim the canyon, but it's more rewarding to hike the 1.2 miles to the canyon floor and see the ruins of Anasazi cliff dwellings up close. Once you reach the canyon, its rust red cliffs descend into a valley where Navajo families still live, farming its rich soil and raising sheep. The route cuts through acres of rabbitbrush and past forests thick with pines. One of my favorite drives is from Window Rock, Arizona, the Navajo capital, to the town of Chinle, the gateway to Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The diversity of the landscape is dizzying-Monument Valley Tribal Park, the Navajo side of Lake Powell, and Canyon de Chelly, a place that I hold especially close. Stop and support them.Īs a lifelong resident of the Southwest, I feel confident saying that the Navajo Nation is home to some of the most majestic places in this region. At every turn throughout the Navajo Nation, people are selling something worth buying or experiencing. In my opinion, the more interesting aspect of Four Corners is the Navajo vendors selling necklaces with little nuggets of turquoise or pottery painted with traditional designs.
But to me it's little more than a tribute to the arbitrary boundaries drawn by colonizers.
For some, this slab of concrete marking the tidy meeting up of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado may seem important. What is puzzling is how many travel guides list the Four Corners Monument as the place to visit there.
