(Window Rock AZ/NN)
The capital for the Navajo Nation is the town of Window Rock. Their government buildings, courthouse, and a museum are located there. They also had a zoo and botanical gardens featuring common animals and plants in the region.
Window Rock
My main interest was to see the window in the rock, and the Navajo Veterans monument park. I also went through the museum which had exhibits about Navajo history and culture.
Veterans Park
Ganado Lake Camp
It was a short stop on my way across northeastern Arizona; which is mostly Navajo Nation lands. They have the largest reservation and population of any native tribe.
Camp: Ganado Lake-NN boondock
Scene: Rock formation, park
I have always enjoyed traveling through that area. Don’t remember a museum though – was it created in the last few years?
Not sure how long the museum has been around. It seems kind of new; but, also like it’s been there awhile.
