"The diversity of the landscape is dizzying—Monument Valley Tribal Park, the Navajo side of Lake Powell, and Canyon de Chelly, a place that I hold especially close."

When the Navajo Nation Reopens, Visitors Must Return Slowly—And Respectfully

Should you need to reduce the driving time between Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley, a stop at Capitol Reef would allow you to rest, see some petroglyphs, and sleep in an old-school Conestoga wagons at the Broken Spur Inn. The road 12 to Monument Valley is stunning, and once you get there make sure to check-in at the View Hotel, as it is the only one that will allow you to stay in the Park once all the tourists are gone. Go horseback riding at sunset, galloping with wild horses to areas of Monument Valley that cars cannot access. And wake up at sunrise, to catch that magic light and drive around the official route before everyone else starts packing the place.

One of the most unique landscapes in the states. Spent two days visiting the place. The 17 mile loop was spectacular with numerous view points, all of which were very uniques. Wildcat trail was an easy chill hike. The visitor center has a small museum inside where you will find some stories of the native people

Unique landscape you don't see much of anywhere else. Overall a great ride. You do need a 4x4 to do the 14 mile ride or you can take a tour.

Breathtaking. Visiting in Winter was so nice with low temperatures overnight but few crowds. Incredible to see these sights and understand the history of the area. A couple of days was plenty of time and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 🌄🥾

The views are amazing. The self-guided auto tour takes about two hours. The dirt road is very rough so I don't suggest a vehicle with low clearance. All the points of interest are clearly marked.

Iconic & legendary valley for all cowboy movie fans! This was one of the highlight of our West Coast tour in 2022. I particularly enjoyed seeing all these sites as I watched so many movies that were shot here. Definitely recommended !

We’ve been to many parks across the US and this Valley takes the cake. Dare we say that this is one of the sickest places in the US!!! Do not skip this. Better yet, specifically plan a trip to visit. It’s still a bit of a hidden gem-park compared to others. We kind of hope it stays that way, but we simply can’t gate keep…Driving through this park (whether it’s via a self-guided drive or an open tour jeep - we did the self-guided) is stunning 🤩 The road is very rough at parts so we only recommend driving your vehicle through if it has all/4-wheel drive and high clearance. The first time I visited it was the weekend and it did get busy, so don’t be afraid to show up early. We even recommend sitting at the top for the sunrise (see pic), just make sure you still pay (this is Navajo Territory and the National Park Pass does not apply here fyi). Continue to be respectful of the speed limit and kind to the locals (they are welcoming us into their homeland). PS. We bought gorgeous hand-made jewelry. We highly recommend supporting the local Navajo artists! Can’t wait to come back!

A must do for anyone touring the Southwest. Glad I did it on a tour since (1) you get way more info and context, and (2) my convertible rental would definitely not have made it in the scenic road. So, make sure your car has enough clearance, but don't miss it
