Una leggenda Navajo in merito alla Spider Rock racconta di un ragazzo che, mentre stava tranquillamente cacciando nel Canyon dell'Uomo Morto, un ramo del Canyon de Chelly, improvvisamente vide un nemico di un'altra tribù che iniziò ad inseguirlo giù nelle profondità del canyon. Mentre il ragazzo scappava e si guardava intorno cercando un posto dove nascondersi, scorse proprio davanti a se l'obelisco della Donna Ragno. Che poteva fare? Sapeva che era difficile per lui arrampicarsi ed era quasi esausto. Improvvisamente, davanti ai suoi occhi, vide una corda di seta che pendeva dalla sommità della roccia. Il ragazzo Navajo si aggrappò alla corda magica, che sembrava abbastanza robusta, e velocemente se la legò attorno ai fianchi. Con l'aiuto della corda lui si arrampicò sulla roccia sfuggendo così al suo nemico che lasciò poi perdere l'inseguimento. Quando il ragazzo raggiunse la cima, si sdraiò per riposarsi. Lì scoprì un posto bellissimo, con uova d'aquila da mangiare e la rugiada notturna da bere. Immaginate la sua sorpresa quando scoprì che ad aiutarlo era stata la Donna Ragno! Lei gli disse che aveva visto in che situazione si trovava e che decise di aiutarlo. Gli mostrò come aveva costruito la sua corda-tela e come l'aveva ancorata ad una roccia per poi calarla fino a lui e farlo arrampicare su. Più tardi, quando il ragazzo fu sicuro che il suo nemico se ne era andato, ringraziò la Donna Ragno caldamente e ridiscese nel canyon, ancora con l'aiuto della corda magica. Tornò a casa correndo il più veloce possibile e raccontò alla sua tribù come fosse stato salvato dalla Donna Ragno. (tratto da:web: http://wanagiyata2012.blogspot.it/2012/01/)

I have not been there, but I have read many books of the natives, so I think you can safely say "something magical" ;-)

One of the "sorrows" (thankfully few) of that journey is just to not be able to organize a half-day visit, with due calm, the interior of the canyon which is still inhabited by natives who also manage the visits :-( It 'still the place, compared to those that I have visited, I found less touristy and "inflated" .. maybe even for the few people I met during my visit!
Hello Gianmarco :-)

Hello Gian Mario .. thank you for the nice comment .. ;-)
Canyon de Chelly Me too really liked a lot and I still regret not having been able to devote more time :-( Getting to the comfortable viewpoint of Spider Rock with no one else around and the beautiful light at the end of the day was a unique experience :-) ..

“ I "had to" look at the whole gallery! „

As for this photo I think the advantages are more related to the beautiful place and the equally gorgeous late afternoon light! ;-)
