Teec Nos Pos, AZ

Teec Nos Pos is a quiet high-desert community in the northeastern corner of Arizona on the Navajo Nation, right where Highway 160 meets Highway 64. Its name comes from the Navajo phrase T'iis Nazbas, translating to "cottonwoods in a circle," which reflects the groves of trees that stand out against the open red-rock landscape. Situated just minutes from the Four Corners, it offers a scenic, rural crossroads with sweeping plateau views and a relaxed pace.

Community life centers around the local Chapter House, where residents gather for regular meetings, local governance, and neighborhood events. The area is renowned for its rich artistic heritage, particularly its intricate and colorful Navajo rug-weaving traditions. Between the historic trading post, local schools, and small-scale family farming, Teec Nos Pos provides a tight-knit, traditional setting grounded in Navajo culture and the surrounding desert.
