Canyon
de Chelly National Monument (Arizona-Navajo Nation) 
7th of August 1989 |
| Heini made the White House Trail with Stephen, Christoph and Nicolas. The White House Trail is the only hiking trail in Canyon de Chelly NM that can be taken without a Navajo guide. The trail leads from an overlook on the South rim drive to the White House Ruins. the trail is about 2.5 miles round trip and descends 600 feet into the canyon. It is no difficult, but there is no shade and you will be completely exposed to the sun. |

| Construction of the original Navajo Bridge began in 1927, and the bridge opened to traffic in 1929.In 1990, however, it was decided that the current traffic flow was too great for the original bridge, and that a new solution was needed. The sharp corners in the roadway on each side of the bridge's approach had become a safety hazard due to low visibility, and the deficiency in the original design's width and load capacity specifications were becoming problematic.The new steel arch bridge was completed in September 1995, at a cost of approximately $15 million. |
