Ancient Ruins in the Cañon de Chelle, In a Niche Fifty Feet Above Present Cañon Bed
In 1873 Timothy O’Sullivan led a splinter group from Lieutenant George Wheeler’s geological expedition to Zuni Pueblo in northeast Arizona and to the pre-Columbian cliff dwellings known as the White House Ruins at Cañon de Chelle, mostly dating from the eleventh century.

White House ruins at the bottom of Canyon de Chelly. There’s a trail that goes about a 100 feet from them (as close as you’re allowed to get). Really beautiful canyon and the ruins are incredible. It’s hard to tell in this picture but the wall is covered in petroglyphs.
