Hike White House Ruin Trail Canyon de Chelly National Monument, AZ

Threat to Our Public Land!

Recent proposals could transfer or sell off national forests, BLM land, and wilderness areas. This threatens the trails, wildlife, and access we all love. Once they're gone, we don't get them back.

The push to sell off public lands is being driven mostly by Republicans. What's frustrating is that many who vote for this party still love hiking, hunting, and exploring. If you keep voting for politicians who promise to "cut red tape" and "shrink government," don't be surprised when your favorite trailhead is fenced off and leased to a mining company.

You really can't do anything on Navajo lands without hiring a guide, but this is one of the options for getting into the canyon alone, and legally, and without a permit. It's pretty boring, but you get led through a grouping of Native Americans selling thing on the way to view the White House.

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!

Starting on the top of the rim, follow a well-maintained trail to the base.

A dirt road leads to the White House.

You can see the White House on the far left between the trees.

This isn't along the White House Ruin Trail, but this lookout over Spider Rock is really nice.

Some pretty view looking into Canyon de Chelley on my way to the trailhead.
