When I first laid eyes on 👉Canyon de Chelly👈, I half-expected Gregory Peck to jump out from behind a rock, grab my shoulder, and shout, “The gold is down there, MacKenna!” Fortunately, that didn’t happen. 😜 hikevent.com/canyon-de-ch... #photography #bluesky #hiking #travel #utah #hiking - ThreadSky

The natural beauty of the place is the gold.

I visited the Canyon as a child when my parents taught on the Navajo Reservation in the early 1960s.

It's a beautiful, inspiring place. Wife and I spent our 30th anniversary at the campground there.

You remember/saw that movie? Thought I was the only one to see/remember it. Loved it.

On the canyon floor, you can still see the circles where Kit Carson, cut down the Navajo's peach trees. Not a good Christian man, not a good man, certainly not a great man.

I never thought I would see a reference to that movie. LOL. I saw it as a teen and remember the line, "There's no canyon and there's no gold," in that unmistakable Peck voice.
