The Navajo Creek is an approximately 87 kilometers long tributary of Lake Powell in Coconino County in the north of the US state Arizona . It flows through several slot canyons and carries water all year round. Parts of the lower reaches belong to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area .
course
Navajo Creek rises just north of Arizona State Route 98 between Kaibito and Shonto in Binne Etteni Canyon . A little later, at the confluence of the Nitsin Canyon , he passes the Pueblo Inscription House , which is part of the Navajo National Monument . It now crosses a mostly wide canyon in a northerly direction to the mouth of the Far End Canyon , where it makes an arc in a westerly direction. The canyon, which is called Navajo Canyon from here on , is now getting narrower and narrower until it flows into Lake Powell east of Page . The main tributary is the Kaibito Creek , which meets Navajo Creek from the left just before the confluence.
