About Navajo

Navajo National Monument preserves three of the most intact cliff dwellings in the Southwest, built by Ancestral Puebloan people in the 13th century. Betatakin, Keet Seel, and Inscription House represent some of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the region, showcasing advanced building techniques and cultural adaptation. The monument is located within the Navajo Nation and requires guided tours to access the ruins. It is managed by the National Park Service in partnership with the Navajo Nation.
