 Monument Valley National Park is within the Navajo Indian Reservation on the Utah/Arizona border. There is only one main road through Monument Valley, the US 163, which links with US 191 in Utah. The stretch approaching the AZ/UT border from the north gives the most famous image of the valley. In addition, a long straight empty road leads across flat desert towards the 1,000 foot high red cliffs. This is also a good area for hiking. The best views, largely unvisited are contained within the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Entrance is around $5 per person and free for children. From the visitor center there are good views across three of the valley's most photographed peaks: East and West Mitten Buttes, and Merrick Butte. Popular spots besides the obvious include: The Totem Pole, a spire of rock 300 feet high but only a few meters wide, many cave and cliff dwellings, natural arches, and ancient petroglyphs. | |
