    In this page, you will find informations and advices we can give, based on our experience

    Adeei Ecchi Cliffs (Ward Terrace) - Arizona

    What to do if you have little time : the track is long to go, so it takes time ...

    This place, which is beginning to be known, is however very little frequented. It must be said that the track to access is long and difficult to follow. Some portions are difficult to pass. A 4WD with a high enough ground clearance is imperative.

    A permit is required to go to Adeei Ecchi Cliffs. It can be purchased at Cameron Navajo Park & Recreation, about 1.6 miles south of the Cameron Trading Post (burger king roundabout) and costs 12$ per person (in September 2017). We urge you not to overlook this permit, because we have been "controlled" by an Indian who even took a photo of our permit.

    We are a little severe on the rating of this site with only 1 smiley because although the 2 emblems of the place are worth it, there is nothing else to see. It is even more frustrating that there is a 2:00 of a not easy track to access.

     

    Tip : if you come here for the sunset, we advise you to start with Eye of the Needle which is quickly in the shade at the end of the afternoon. Crazy Ducks is much more cleared and ideally oriented for sunset. Enjoy being here at sunset to spend the night. Silence guaranteed.

     

    Update april 2019 : Eye of the Needle has collapsed probably because of the snow that fell this winter which, by infiltrating the rock, had to weaken it.

    Length and duration of the hikeLoop of 4,3 miles - 2:00

     12$/person

    The 4,3 miles hike is not very difficult but it is better to have a GPS to avoid wasting time to orient. Indeed, the trail is not marked at all. The portion that connects Crazy Ducks to Eye of the Needle is in sand.

    Crazy Ducks: N35°51'52.0 "W111°13'22.8"

    Eye of the Needle: N35°51'37.5 "W111°12'54.8"

     

    Access : from Cameron, follow US89 North for 9.8 miles to GPS point N36°00'47.7 "W111°23'43.1". Allow about 2 hours to travel the 20,5 miles track.

    To see around

    • Coal Mine Canyon

    Lodging

    We have tested :

    • Adeei Ecchi Cliffs - wild camping : ideal for watching the sunset. Very quiet place !

    • Tuba City - Quality Inn/RV Park : this RV park has a few tentsites. These sites are spacious enough and as always equipped with a table and benches. The bathrooms are clean. But this campground is rather noisy due to its proximity to the road. The price is reasonable at $ 19 per night per location (September 2014).
