Shonto in Navajo County, Arizona — The American Mountains (Southwest)
Wagon
Navajo National Monument
In your travels through the reservation, you’ve undoubtedly already encountered plenty of pickup trucks—the most popular mode of Navajo transportation today. Horses are used for herding sheep and other livestock, and for competing in rodeos. It’s common practice among Navajos to share rides, and to take people where they need to go in exchange for good conversation.
