Why does the Navajo Reservation in Arizona observe daylight saving time?

Good Question! The Navajo Reservation in Arizona observes daylight savings time (while most of the rest of Arizona does not) because while the largest portion of the Navajo Reservation is in Arizona, parts of it do extend into New Mexico and Utah, both of which do observe daylight savings time. Interesting side note: If you were to travel from say, Grand Canyon east across The Navajo Reservation passing through Jeddito to maybe the Hubbell trading Post, you'd have to reset your watch five times to keep up. Reason? The Hopi Reservation, nestled inside the boundaries of the Navajo Reservation does not change time; and Jeddito is in a very small portion of the Navajo Reservation that lies within the boundaries of the Hopi Reservation.
