Kayenta

Kayenta (Navajo: Tó Dínéeshzheeʼ, meaning "Fingers of Water" because of how water runs down the local rock formations when it rains) is a U.S. town which is part of the Navajo Nation and is in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. Established November 13, 1986, the Kayenta Township is unique in currently being the only "township" existing under the laws of the Navajo Nation.

The population was 5,189 at the 2010 census. Kayenta is located at the junction of U.S. Route 160 and the southern end of U.S. Route 163. It is 25 miles (40 km) south of Monument Valley and contains a number of hotels and motels which serve visitors to Monument Valley. Like other places on the Navajo Nation, it is illegal to serve alcohol. Greater Arizona does not observe Daylight saving time; however, the Navajo Nation does.
