Stories from the sandstone: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.

Stories from the sandstone: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.: "CANYON DE CHELLY NATIONAL MONUMENT, Ariz. — This majestic canyon is lined with towering red sandstones. But the physical landscape is only part of the draw.

Canyon de Chelly — replete with thousands of ruins, carvings and paintings on stone — is revered by the Navajo people. It is classified as a living monument by the National Park Service. Over campfires, during a hike through the canyon’s trails, by horseback or by jeep tour, visitors can get a sense of the canyon’s history and its spirituality."
