- 2025 November 7, Matt Kirouac, “A New Grand Canyon Lodge Lets You Explore This Lesser-Known Region of the National Park with Navajo Guides”, in AFAR[1]:
- On our bumpy, mud-soaked ride to the Grand Canyon’s lesser-visited East Rim, a coyote emerged from the sagebrush to lead the way. It took off directly in front of our van, seemingly directing us through a labyrinth of dirt roads. Our guide, a member of the Navajo Nation, parked the vehicle and offered thanks to the coyote for its guidance.
