Northeast Arizona Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Valley Drive, located near the Utah-Arizona state line in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, is a 17-mile scenic loop through one of the most iconic landscapes in the Southwest, USA. This spot along the road is named John Ford Point, after the director who used it as a location for numerous Western films. Visitors can pay a few dollars to a local horse owner who is stationed in the parking lot to recreate the famous image of a horse rider perched on the edge of the plateau. This horse was aptly named “Pistol”.

True to name, a campground with a view!
I'm in love with desert sunrises🌅

Quick Tip: Don't forget to pick up your Navajo Permit to access the canyon rim! If you want to climb down into the canyon, you need to hire a Hopi guide. #Arizona #Adventure
Monument ValleyIt is located on the Arizona-Utah state line. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163. The valley's vivid red color comes from iron oxide exposed in the weathered siltstone. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get their color from manganese oxide. The valley includes large stone structures including the famed "Eye of the Sun".

Road to the cabin was deeply rutted/potholed in many places. We felt the on-line listing was not accurate: an updated outhouse is not a bathroom; a sink with a hot plate/no cooking utensils does not make a kitchen/kitchenette. We didn't think the water was potable as it had a brownish tinge, so we ...
