Tsegi Canyon

    Article

    A deep canyon located near Kayenta, AZ on the Navajo Nation. The gorge is known for its sheer walls of sandstone formed by the Laguna Creek and for its marsh growth. The canyon is a source of water to the surrounding area as a part of the Kayenta and Dinnehotso irrigation projects.

    In Navajo, "Tséyi" means "In Between the Rocks” or "Inside the Rock."
