Canyon de Chelly North Rim Drive – Massacre Cave Overlook
Massacre Cave Overlook provides sweeping views into Canyon del Muerto, a major branch of Canyon de Chelly. The overlook looks down on a large alcove where a tragic 1805 conflict occurred between Navajo people and Spanish soldiers. The sheer canyon walls and layered rock strata create dramatic compositions.
