Sliding House Overlook
A lookout on the South Rim Drive where you can see the Sliding House ruins, built on a narrow cliff ledge that seems ready to slide into the canyon below.
Sliding House Overlook sits midway along the South Rim Drive. Across the canyon, an Ancestral Puebloan village clings to a narrow sloping rock ledge, and its dwellings look as though they might slide down into the canyon, which gives the site its name. The canyon here is about 240 meters deep, and the Navajo farmland and traditional Hogan dwellings on the canyon floor are clearly visible. It pairs well with a visit to White House Overlook and Spider Rock.
