Spider Rock

Spider Rock is a Sandstone spire that stands up to 800 feet from the canyon floor at the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Canyon in Winslow, Arizona. The must see destination of southwest America also features a campground.

Camping at the area is available as an all natural experience in unpaved areas surrounded by junipers and pinion pines. Camping is available in tents, RVs or for a special winter camping experience, visitors can spend time in a Hogan.

The rock has been used in many television commercials and the traditional Navajo people believe that it is the home of spider woman and is the taller of the two spires. The monuments cover 131 square miles in the national park.

The Spider Grandmother is a creation of the world in Native American religions, they believe she was responsible for the stars in the sky after taking a web she spun, laced it with dew and threw it into the sky.

The ruins in the area have been preserved to show the indigenous tribes of the area. These tribes include the Ancient Pueblo People and the Navajo people. The Canyon de Chelly National Park where Spider Rock is located was established on April 1, 1931 and is a unit of the National Park Service.
