The Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations are incredibly beautiful. Wide open spaces, colorful vistas, stark and arid land make up these two adjoining parts of this country. The Navajo reservation that we went through seemed to be drier and the land less "workable" as far as ranching or farming; the views however are spectacular.
The Hopi Indians appear to have land that can be farmed as we saw several places where farms were located along rivers and streams. I assume they must do some kind of irrigation because this is very arid country.
As we drove through the Hopi reservation we listened to the Hopi National Public Radio station. They played great music and broadcast for many miles across the Arizona desert. The station also repeatedly informed its listeners of weather conditions and other public service announcements. This is a higher altitude than what we passed through on the Navajo reservation and we again ran into snow.
The following are photos of the Hopi reservation ... some are landscapes; others are of homes and the animals around the houses.
