Saw your comment/message before seeing the email from VB on the finalist selection, thank you very much Kathy. You need to stay at the View Hotel in the Navajo Park when you go and I can give you some tips also.

This was taken right off the balcony of the room at the View Hotel, highly recommend staying there, but a bit pricey. Summertime is to busy so go spring or fall or even winter. Just posted 2 or 3 from that trip
