Cha Canyon

Cha Canyon is a narrow side canyon on the south side of the San Juan arm, one of the first canyons past the arm's mouth at about mile 57. A small stream keeps it green, and it has narrows, small waterfalls and rock art. The land is Navajo Nation, so hiking up the canyon requires a Navajo Nation backcountry permit.
