Coal Mine Canyon Wrapped Canvas Prints
Coal Mine Canyon Wrapped Canvas Prints
Coal Mine Canyon is a tributary of Moenkopi Wash, about fifteen miles southeast of Tuba City, Arizona. Coal Mine Canyon contains red and white striped cliffs and is best shot from the rim. The rim is on Navajo Nation land. The interior of the Coal Mine Canyon is part of the Hopi Nation and a Hopi guide is required to descend to the interior. There is a trail from the canyon rim to the interior but I could not find it. A web search suggests the trail is difficult and not photographically rewarding. The rim of Coal Mine Canyon is in the Navajo Nation and a permit is needed to visit it. The permit can be obtained in Cameron at the Cameron Visitor Center located at the intersection of Highways 89 and 64. The visitor center is open five days a week from 8AM to 5:30 PM during the winter months. Permits are also available by mail, apply well in advance of your trip date. See the Navajo Nation Parks website for more details. Permits fees were recently increased to $12.00 US per person per 24 hour period. The permit allows camping overnight also. There are picnic tables available at the parking area but no toilets or water. If you wish to descend into Coal Mine Canyon legally you will need both a Navajo Nation permit to access the rim and a Hopi guide for the interior.
