Navaho Canyon and the rest of Chapin Museum


The whole "Four Corner's" area, with some indications of residents on Mesa Verde (New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado)

Modern artist's rendition of looking out from Mesa Verde towards Sleeping Ute Mountain.

Kendra (daughter-in-law) already knows a lot about weaving!












A more modern painting by a Native American Artist - of which my son and daughter-in-law purchased a print.

 An overlook of Navaho Canyons to the west of the part of the Mesa we visited.
 We went down the road on the eastern side of the Mesa, and it would certainly have taken another day to go on the western side, on the other side of Navaho Canyons.



Tai and Kendra looking at the immense landscape.

      Weaving takes many many more hours than making pottery! It is also beautiful in different but similar designs.

    Navajo art, especially weaving, is nothing less than exquisite.

      Definitely agree...and the woven art is more precious for its more fragile existence! Few old blankets live for over a hundred years!

    ...art of an ancient civilization.

      And any time a civilization has time to make art, it must have plenty of food and shelter and governance that gives a peaceful period in which art may be created and appreciated!

There is today, more than ever, the need for a compassionate regenerative world civilization.
