About Footpath Journeys

• On-line Video: View an on-line video of a group tour of the canyon: Walking in the footsteps of the ancients: Touring Canyon de Chelly with Footpath Journeys
• Canyon de Chelly Eco-Trips: This project involves high school students, 14-19 years old, helping Canyon residents in exchange for hiking tours. Projects may include working on a hogan, herding sheep, getting water, fencing, and so on. Students on longer visits may also learn to do Navajo arts and crafts. One of our groups got to try their hands at silver smithing with well-known artist A.C. Henry.
