View of Canyon de Chelly National Monument, within Navajo tribal lands in the Four Corners region of northeastern Arizona, near the town of Chinle

Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, the 83,000-acre site preserves ruins of the indigenous tribes, from the Ancestral Puebloans (formerly known as Anasazi) to the Navajo. The monument has a perhaps unexpected pronunciation: De-SHAY. "Four Corners" refers to the only place in America where boundaries of four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah) intersect.
