this is my first post so i apologize if this is the wrong forum or anything. ANYWHO, i was just coming from the grand canyon and i bumped into this place. It looks like - i dont know what it looks like and i wiki'd Yah-Ta-Hey to no avail. You guys are pretty smart, so what do you think?

The site is used for a flea market every Saturday and Sunday in the summer. There are a few local crafts, such as a lady who sells nice beaded earrings that look like Navaho wedding baskets.
I thnk the long thin buildings are the covers for the flea market booths.
Ya ta Hey is a little area of a few houses where the highway turns toward Window Rock, the Navajo capital.

Looks like a go cart track. If you notice the white shaping has no shadows. Only the two buildings with green roofs.

That is, indeed, a (former) go-cart track and (current) flea market. Ya-Ta-Hey is a bastardization of the Navajo (Dine') word for "hello". It is correctly pronounced more like Yahht-e'eh, and is spelled many different ways as the Navajo did not traditionally have a written language (part of why the Code Talkers were so effective). The highway just east of it (running north-south) was formerly known as Route 666, but some folks just felt too wierd about that and it was re designated as 491 in 2002.
