Watching the sunset near Hope Arch, Chinle, AZ, Navaho Nation.We are on another winter road adventure, this time in northeastern Arizona to visit some national parks and lands of the Hopi Nation and Navaho Nation. We started out by Meteor Crater, for whatever reason I’ve never been to it, headed for Homol’ovi State Park to see the old Hopi village sites. We continued north to northeast visiting the cultural center at Second Mesa and passing by below First Mesa in Hopi Nation ( no photographs from there in respect for their wishes and laws not to be photographed). The day ended outside of Chinle, Arizona, on Navajo Nation lands for sunset near Hope Arch. Tomorrow we explore Canyon de Chelley.
