White House Ruin Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

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 me or show me some love!

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.
