The White House Trail was open, and while challenging, it was completely worth it. Each of the overlooks had a unique view. I saw a few reviews complaining about "panhandlers" at the overlooks, but honestly, everyone was extremely polite, willing to share the local history and their personal stories, and definitely NOT pushy in any way. I felt it added to the experience where I was definitely a visitor in their land. We visited at the end of September, the weather was perfect and the park was not crowded. I differently recommend!"

I say this is like experiencing the grand canyon up close and personal. Didn't had time to go on the White House trail. Visited almost all the view points on both North and South sides. You may encounter local tribe people selling handmade crafts."

For a much more in-depth perspective you can take a Navajo-guided tour into the canyon (you can’t go in yourself except for a single walking trail). I thought this was well worth it to see the petroglyphs and numerous ruins up close, along with learning more about the history and people who still call the canyon home."

Lots of driving I did the north side in the morning (as recommended) and I found the south side in the afternoon to be significantly more impressive 5 stars for the Visitor Center staff. Incredibly helpful with tons of information!"
