Yah-tah-hey
This town of under 600 people lies about 7 miles north of Gallup. While close to Gallup’s many conveniences and amenities, Yah-tah-hey boasts plenty of its own charm, including views of the high mountain desert unbroken by the distractions of modern life. Visitors marvel at the splendor of nearby water-cut arroyos, and those who stay and sink roots in this simple Navajo community fall in love with the dry sense of humor and warm generosity of its people.
For residents of Yah-tah-hey, an open Indian market is a treat on weekends, when shoppers can find everything from garage-sale bargains to Native American-made arts and crafts.
Yah-tah-hey is the perfect place to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the people who have survived many years by their wits and a tenacious grip on traditional beliefs and a beautiful cultural heritage.
