The location provides easy access to Grandview Lookout Tower, which offers 360-degree views of the canyon and surrounding forest.

The history of the land dates back to ancient times. Petroglyphs, arrow heads and shards of pottery can be found while hiking, remnants of days long past can still be seen in the artifacts of local Dine’, as well as in the old wagon trails littered with antique glass that glitter in the sun. During the Long Walk period of Navajo history, Baya’s ancestors hid in the canyons from the United States Army to escape being forcibly removed and marched hundreds of miles to Fort Sumner in New Mexico. The family history can be traced to these grazing lands for fifteen generations. Hogans that Baya’s ancestors built are still standing, and their knowledge of the history of the land is still on their tongues for anyone interested in listening and learning.
Navajo Churro sheep, goats, horses, cows, chickens, livestock, and very friendly working dogs - the Maremma Sheepdog and Great Pyrenees are raised on the ranch in accordance with Navajo traditions.
The Glamp has been built to accommodate guests year-round to provide a peaceful, unique Navajo cultural experience.
Shash Dine' has been featured and recommended by Travel + Leisure, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Phoenix Magazine, The Guardian, Arizona Highways, The Grand Canyon Trust, Indian Country Today, Huckberry, NPR Radio, The Lake Powell Chronicle, TEVA, Meraviglia, The Navajo-Hopi Observer, and countless travel blogs from across the globe.
