A run down - and back up - White House Trail in Canyon de Chelly is a refreshing break from our usual gym workouts, especially when the weather lures us outdoors. A tunnel at the top of the trail welcomes us.
 |
| We are eager for the run |
The White House Trail is a three mile round trip from the canyon rim down the switchbacks to the wash and a view of the ruins.
 |
| The canyon is always delightfully inviting |
The trail is kept fairly smooth and is suitable for running. In some places the trail is hewn from the canyon wall.
Locals in training run down and up 2 or 3 times. Once is usually enough for us.

| Going up is a little more trying than the coast down. |
