Antelope Mesa

Keams Canyon is the easternmost community on the Hopi Indian Reservation.

Awatovi is an abandoned Hopi settlement on Antelope Mesa. It was destroyed in the 18th C during a conflict between the Hopi and the Spanish. Awatovi was a village, of multi-level dwellings, kivas, storage areas and plazas. The ruins contain the remains of a 500-year-old pueblo and a 17th C Spanish mission.

Two miles outside of Keams Canyon is Inscription Rock, where Kit Carson engraved his name.
