americasgreatoutdoors:Colorful cottonwoods deliver a brilliant fall display in this shot of Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Arizona. Canyon de Chelly is on Navajo Tribal lands and has over 5,000 years of continual human occupancy. Beginning with the archaic hunter and gatherer people and followed by the Basketmaker People, the Ancestral Puebloan People and then the Hopi Tribe. After the Hopi, the Early Navajo people occupied the canyons, and they are still the current people who call the canyons home. The monument is currently closed to visitors and tourism.
