Face Rock Overlook
The overlook just before Spider Rock, where the canyon drops some 300 meters and a rock formation in profile resembles a human face.
Face Rock Overlook is near the end of the South Rim Drive, at one of the deepest stretches of Canyon de Chelly, where the cliffs fall nearly 300 meters. The rock formation across the canyon has a profile that resembles a human face. Fewer visitors come here than to White House and Spider Rock, so it is a good place for quiet contemplation of the canyon. It also makes a good stop on the way to Spider Rock.
