When the Council is not in session, legislative work is done by 12 standing committees of the Council. If the council is not in session during your visit, don't despair. You still have a chance to relive Navajo history throughout the colorful and lively murals that adorn the circular walls of the council chambers. The zoo includes animals that are native to the Navajo Nation and domestic animals that are culturally important to the Navajo people, especially large mammals and birds of prey. It includes an exhibition center, trails, and examples of traditional Navajo dwellings.
Group tours are available.
It is open year-round except on Christmas and New Year's Day. Agathla Peak and Church Rock Agathla Peak is located about 8 miles north of Kayenta, Arizona on Highway 163 while Church Rock is located 8 miles on U.S. Highway 160. These towering 1,500 foot rock formations are jagged grey volcanic rocks jutting out of red rock. Seen together across Little Capitan Valley, they appear as ghostly moonscape. There are no facilities.
