The White House is nestled in a sheer sandstone cliff that drops 700 feet from the canyon rim to the narrow valley floor. The rock structure has a coat of white plaster that gives the ancient cliff dwelling it’s name. It was last occupied approximately 300 years ago by ancestors of the current Navajo nation.
