Monument Valley
Navajo Tribal Park

Picnicking

Picnicking is available at the Visitor Center, and a number of picnic tables in Mitten Campground.

Auto Touring

The view from the visitor center is quite spectacular, but most of the park can only be seen from a 17-mile dirt road which starts there and goes southeast among the cliffs and mesas. The road is very rough and difficult for non-4WD vehicles. This may help business for the many Navajo guides and 4WD jeep rentals, which wait near the visitor center. The following features can be seen on this tour:

• The Mittens and Merrick Butte
• Elephant Butte
• Three Sisters
• John Ford's Point
• Camel Butte
• The Hub
• Totem Pole and Yei Bi Chei
• Sand Springs
• Artist's Point
• North Window
• The Thumb

Biking

There is no biking inside the monument.
