Viewpoints along the South Rim of Canyon de Chelly

This morning we drove along the south rim at Canyon de Chelley National Monument to view the annular eclipse and visit the viewpoints along this route, overall we walked about 2 miles. We started at the Spider Rock Overlook, with this view of Spider Rock.

We enjoyed watching the annular eclipse while listening to a Native American play the flute and chant. After the totality, a nice young man showed me the video he took and let me get a photo of the totality from the screen on the back of his camera, then

he used a filter to take this photo with me camera of the eclipse further along.
