Roadside Scene Magnet

It is 1.7 miles from the junction of US Highway 163 and Monument Valley Tribal Park Road, to the Entrance Station of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. At times traffic can flow slowly, as the herd of motor homes and cars in front of you lumber up, one at a time, to pay their entrance fee. The eye wanders, as you wait, because the west end of that eastbound Winnebago in front of you is just not that picturesque. What catches your eye is this, the view out your left side window, of mesas, buttes and pinnacles with names like Stagecoach, Big Chief, and Eagle, among others. This scene is just a taste of what you're waiting to see, making that wait seem just a little too long.
