Cha Canyon Hike

Cha Canyon is a narrow side canyon on the south side of the San Juan arm, one of the most isolated canyons on the lake. There are no services on the San Juan arm, so bring enough fuel and supplies for the round trip. The land is Navajo Nation, so hiking requires a Navajo Nation backcountry permit.
