A guided hike to Betatakin, an Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwelling in Navajo National Monument. Countless other dwellings existed here around 1250, but only 3 were protected and preserved by their sandstone alcoves. As we hiked closer to the ancient dwelling, the air cooled a few degrees, and a peaceful quiet settled over the group. Betatakin took my breath away, and I don’t think I was the only one.
