Junction Overlook
The second viewpoint on the South Rim Drive, overlooking the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Canyon del Muerto, with a view of First Ruin.
Junction Overlook is on the South Rim Drive, about 6 km from the visitor center. Below the cliff lies the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Canyon del Muerto, where Navajo farmland and cottonwood groves lie on the canyon floor, and First Ruin can be spotted on the cliff walls. This is the first place on the South Rim where the full panorama of the canyon appears, making it a good stop for visitors short on time.
