The canyon network within the National Monument merges several canyons, including Canyon de Chelly and Canyon del Muerto. The deepest canyon walls stand over 1,000 feet above the canyon floor. The National Monument is owned and cooperatively managed by the Navajo Nation. This is the only National Park Service unit managed this way and was established in 1931.
