Antelope House Overlook
A viewpoint on the North Rim Drive overlooking the Antelope House ruins beneath the cliffs. Across the canyon, you can see Navajo Fortress Rock.
Antelope House Overlook is on the North Rim Drive, looking down on the Antelope House ruins near where Canyon del Muerto meets Canyon de Chelly. The ruins were a large settlement of the Ancestral Puebloans and take their name from an antelope painted on the cliff by a Navajo artist in the 1830s. It is about a 5-minute walk from the parking area to the cliff edge. Across the canyon stands Navajo Fortress Rock, where the Navajo took refuge during the 1864 U.S. Army campaign. The overlook is free.
