Sixteen miles southeast of Tuba City lies a remote canyon of badlands layered with eye-dazzling colors, including hundreds of painted rock spires and hoodoos. The jagged-edged Coal Mine Canyon is in a unique area spanning Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation land. A visit here will most likely find you in complete solitude. Please be respectful of its residents.
