Crow Canyon

 
 
 

Petroglyph panels at Crow Canyon and rock-walled hideaways perched high up on the rims of Largo Canyon and its tributaries tell the story of the first farmers of Dinétah, the Navajo homeland. Interpretive panels at Crow Canyon and at several “pueblitos,” the small fortresses that sheltered Dinétah’s farmers from raiding parties, introduce the centuries-long Navajo story.
