We crossed the Navajo Reservation to a park that unlike Canyon de Chelly is totally under the National Park Service. It was atop a mountain with some pretty special scenery. The campground, Sunset View, was very nice and completely free. We had a miles long view from our site. The park including some hikes but not all were open because of snow and ice on the trail. We did get to the main portion of the park, a 1.3 mile walk into the canyon edge to view the extensive cliff dwellings below us at Betatakin Overlook. There are only a few days per year that the rangers do tours to the ruins and they are very popular and go quick when announced. They were not taking tours this time of year. We also managed a nice rim hike on Canyon View Trail and then got to a closed camp area and had a long walk back on a road.
