Kayenta Ancestral Puebloan Ruin in Navajo County, Arizona was built around 1250 AD but the rock shelter was first used over 300 years before that. Keet Seel is the best preserved "cliff dwelling" in Tsegi Canyon.
The ruin may only be reached by 17 mile round trip hike and a back country camping permit. A ranger on site at the ruin provides information and oversight. Guided tours on horseback may also be available, but the park visitor center should be contacted for current conditions.
Keet Seel is part of the National Park Service's Navajo National Monument and lies completely within the Navajo Reservation. The park has two small campgrounds.
