Spider Rock

We spent most of the day doing nothing but relaxing. The late afternoon we took a jaunt to the visitors center where Bill bought a canyon book of great photos then we drove the south rim and visited the Spider Rock overlook.
On the last access road to the canyon rim, you'll come to the Face Rock Overlook, which provides yet another dizzying glimpse of the ever-deepening canyon. Here you gaze 1,000 feet down to the bottom. However, it is the next stop -- Spider Rock Overlook -- that offers the monument's most spectacular view. This viewpoint overlooks the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Canyon. The monolithic pinnacle known as Spider Rock rises 800 feet from the canyon floor, its two free-standing towers forming a natural monument.
