We had an awesome tour guide - Jennifer Whiterock - who walked us out and showed us what was what and told us stories about the finds. We saw a lot of really cool things, and she encouraged us to touch the bones, stand on them, etc - there is no other place I have ever been or very likely will - who would let you do that. Our guide brought a water bottle to add water to the finds to make them more visible. She made sure we were okay to continue exploring in the heat when a member was falling behind. She is so sweet. Be respectful of where you are. This belongs to the Navajo, and they chose to share this with you. Do not take bones or stones. Leave the environment as you find it. Listen to the stories and learn. Our guide told us payment was up to us, that we could pay as we saw fit. We bought some jewelry from her as well. If you can't pay, it's fine. Obviously, if you can, please do. This is a treasure they are sharing. Let your children see the wonders, even if you can't afford it. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

There are an abundance of tracks, and they look really cool with the red dirt water in them. Our guide was Jennifer. She told us where to park and greeted us when we got out. Her guiding style was show and identify a track, then walk to the next one and wait for us to take our pics and catch up to her. One track she said was a brontosaurus, and knowing better, I can say that it was not. But didn’t comment to her about the error. About 200’ into the tour, she declared that she was too hot, and returned to the jewelry stands. It wasn’t very hot that day, and she had a sweatshirt on that she could have taken off. So the tracks were really neat, but the interaction with our guide was sorely lacking. We gave her a good tip anyway, just because.

Well worth the stop! Orlando Whitestone was my guide when I was there and was incredibly knowledgeable! I highly recommend accepting a tour from a guide; they’ll point out the best tracks, fossilized eggs, fossilized dung piles, and point out the ancient river beds. The guides work off donations, $10-20 is a good range to tip for their service.

What a cool thing to see. So random, at first you're wondering if you're going to the right place. Middle of nowhere, sign that says dinosaur tracks. You just pull in and drive up to where the Natives have their little jewelery huts. Donate what you want for them to give you a tour, because they know where all the best tracks are. Tip heavily, they deserve it. They stand out in the heat all day. If it was bought out by some company and made into an attraction, you'd be paying a lot. I appreciate it being in its natural state.

Interesting and very cool. A local Navajo guided us through the place, showing us the different dinosaur footsteps (about 10-15 minutes). If you need a small break from driving or just like dinosaurs, this is a great place.

The site itself is very interesting and worth stopping to see — there are real dinosaur track fossils here. In particular, the large three-toed tracks found in this area are consistent with Dilophosaurus, a real early Jurassic theropod that lived in this region around 190 million years ago. That part is accurate and scientifically supported. However, just a note about the guided explanations: the guides here are local individuals, not trained paleontologists, and some of the information offered can be incorrect. For example, we were told that there were T. rex and Velociraptor footprints here, but that is not possible — those dinosaurs lived over 100 million years later, in much younger rock layers than the ones at this site. So those particular claims were not accurate. My recommendation: Enjoy the site for what it truly is — a rare chance to see authentic Dilophosaurus-era tracks in the open desert. Just take the spoken explanations with caution and look up the scientific details afterward if you’re curious. Overall: Great stop, real footprints, but verify the dino facts independently.

What a wonderful experience!!! Connie was an amazing host who is patient and vey thoughtful. She shared accurate accounts of the dinosaurs and beautiful expressions of her culture.

Small but lots of information. Short film to start the tour then you can wander at your own pace .

This museum was created during the 2002 Olympic games to tell the world about the Navajo nation. What an incredible source of history and culture. I really enjoyed the video interviews of modern day Navajo. Thank you!

This museum is a great place to start on your visit to Tuba City. Is has some great displays and tons of information on the local tribes. I come here every time I visit Tuba City along with the Trading Post.

It's an okay museum, but I wouldn't recommend it much. It's quite small, unlike the name suggests, it's NOT interactive at all. The movie they played in the beginning was very low quality, however it did a good job explaining Navajo history.

A lovely little museum, that gives a deep look into Navajo culture. Well worth the entrance and visit.

Nice little museum. I enjoyed it. The cashier allowed us to go 5 minutes before closing time. Very kind. The materials inside are educational. This is a good place to start if you wish to learn about Navajo, Diné culture.

Small but very interesting museum, we learned a lot about Navajo culture and history. As a tourist, it really helps better understand the region and the people who inhabit it. Highly recommend.

Road a bit rough. Beautiful views.

The best thing in AZ for beautiful views and zero people.

Beautiful pair of canyons in the middle of nowhere. Plug "Coal Mine Canyon" into your gps and you'll be taken to the entrance off of 264. You don't need a 4 wheel drive vehicle as it has been suggested, my Nissan Sentra was able to handle the drive perfectly.

Highly recommend! After reading others directions in the reviews, it was very easy to find. We had rented a mini van that was low to the ground and had no trouble getting right to the edge of the canyon. The views were remarkable! Only two other people there while we were there.

Love this place!! I hope that it stays a local secret. If you plan to go you MUST get a permit from the reservation. The canyon is on private property. I photographed an adventure anniversary session here in the summer!! Love this spot for an Arizona Elopement.

Very different terrain and great views. Colorful rocks. See if you can find the light blue rocks

Great little Canyon.

Absolutely amazing and to believe it is free to visit is crazy! 3 trails, two are fairly easy but the one to the relic forest is pretty steep coming back up but worth it for thay view. They have a little museum at the visitor center and tons of educational things to read along the trails. Very fun and my kids loved it.

Incredible and stunning. This park is not well-known, but should be. Such an interesting area. The visitor center is first class, with lots of information and helpful staff members. Plan enough time to hike some of the trails in the area. One goes down into the canyon, which is absolutely beautiful. This trail isn't too long, but there are lots of stairs. Another trail ends at an overlook where you can see the Betatakin site. Well worth the walk, which is longer than the first trail, but much flatter. We stayed at one of the two rustic campgrounds at the park. Absolutely loved the site. Nice level area with picnic table and surrounded by trees. The campground has a restroom area with flush toilets. No other amenities. We stayed at the campground that's closest to the visitors center, but there's another campground nearby. I believe it has pit toilets.

What a beautiful place! The hike to see the cliff dwelling is really nice and the views are amazing! The campground is fantastic too and it's a really great place to spend some time.

Such a scenic and awesome national monument! My only complaint is that you can’t get closer to the ruins.

Nice short hike with great views of the ruins. I took two kids. The path was easy and well maintained. Great views on the way out to the over look. Then you get a nice payoff with seeing the Cliff dwellings. In the distance inside the huge arched rock formation. There were longer trails I saw others taking. Signs asking the path have interesting descriptions of the plant life. Easy trail. Visitor center and bathrooms were closed due to the government shutdown during October. No facilities were available at all.

A lesson in history. The venue is shut at the moment, but visited all the same & was a lovely experience, getting to know a little more, about the ways of life in the area.

An amazing place to learn about the Navajo people and get an understanding of the cliff dwellings settlement. Visitor Center had great display of how life might have been here in the past. Also possible to see a dino footprint. Not too long paved walking trail to the overlooking of the Cliff dwelling itself. Along the way you could also learn about plants and their usage in the area. Very interesting.

Stopped in to grab a couple crispy wraps on my way back to Phoenix. The fries were hot. Wraps were good. The mango lemonade was amazing. Service was good and the staff was friendly and welcoming. No complaints. 5 stars.

Haven’t been to a BK in almost a decade but decided to stop here due to the code talker exhibit. Food was outstanding, whopper had great grill flavoring, chicken nuggets were juicy, fries hot & crisp. Friendly service as well as the aforementioned exhibit which was very interesting.

The lady that took our order was nice. Very patient and friendly. I had a Whopper, Jr -- really good. Area where drinks are filled was well stocked. Sitting area is large and spacious. Love the Code Talker display -- such a great tribute to great men.

Good food clean inside and out. I am very thrilled my truck and trailer fit here and there is room to park behind. Thankful a place transporters don’t have to walk a long way to or park illegally. I love the big breakfast burrito and coffee is good. They have a small museum next door and many EV chargers. I really appreciate the display they have inside of the Navajo Coders.

Make yourself a favor and go inside to order... I ordered online. First, they could not retrieved my order. Then, of 3 products I ordered they got 1 right.. The ice tea.. I did not get my fries, got to go back, and asked for it.. The lady did not even check the order before giving it to me. Not even a sorry.. Then I asked for Swiss cheese in the burger and paid for it...I got regular American cheese.. One would think that fast food should be straight forward to make.. But apparently not..

Best tasting burger king ive had. Service was great, employees where kind and courteous. The Navajo Code Talker display had some interesting pieces in it and is worth taking a look at.

BLOWN AWAY! Was not expecting to happen upon this detailed tribute & micro museum honoring the Navajo Code Talkers from WWII. What a find. If you are in the area, passing through or a local, please stop in, grab breakfast or lunch and take in this wonderful exhibit that is loaded with many many artifacts. This location is well-staffed with friendly cheerful employees and the food was perfect. Hats off to the owners for honoring our country's Native Americans who provided an invaluable service at our country's time of need.

The cottage we stayed in was most comfortable. Cottage was clean and neat upon arrival, with plenty of towels, utensils, etc. We used virtually all amenities: restaurant, laundry, grocery store and gas station. Food was well prepared and tasty. Service generally good and servers were most polite. Enjoyed the museums. The deluxe trip through Monument Valley was quite an experience: our guide/driver most helpful and answered many questions in a knowledgeable and pleasant fashion. Roads through the valley fair to quite poor; rough and bumpy ride. Bring water and sunscreen.

Beautiful historic location with restaurant, gas station and large grocery store.. Beautiful views depend on where you are though, we were in a cabin park with a kitchen and a separate bedroom about 500 meters away from the lodge which was nice but was not as clean as it should be..There is no view except for the cabins in the front row ofcourse. The restaurant is reasonable but unfriendly unfortunately.. Staff by the reception was welcoming! Also the museum which is about the lodge itself is very interesting! Overall great stay and I would still recommend it to anyone!

Goulding’s began as a trading post in the 1920s and now blends lodge, museum, cabins, RV & campground facilities. Prime location for Monument Valley access: It’s right on Navajo land near the Arizona–Utah border, giving guests close proximity to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Views are a major draw: Waking up to sweeping valley vistas and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Good amenities for the remote setting. Pricing can feel steep, but that's your only option really. The lodge offers a small indoor pool (open year-round), a restaurant on-site (Stagecoach Dining Room), and tour services using Navajo guides (that was really awesome) . The rooms at the lodge where we stayed, are 2 room cabins with a kitchenette. It was a very pleasant experience Decent value given limited options in the area Because lodging options near Monument Valley are scarce, many guests feel the lodge is a compelling choice, despite its limitations.

The Gouldings Lodge is a motel that faces Monument Valley - every room with a view. By view, I mean the paintings and the photographs in the rooms and that you have seen online are now outside your window. The attached photo is from our room window. Forget that the rooms are very clean, that there is a pretty cool museum and a nice cafe steps away - that the room comes with a fridge and micro...whatever. You are staying in a historical location situated in a natural work of art. This could have been a tent and would have gotten 5 stars. This was anamazing stay - absolutely memorable!

The location deserves 7 stars. You'll never have a room with a view like this. Rooms are nothing fancy, but have all the essentials. Great shop, free museum, and restaurant on site. Very tasty food. Had homemade soup and fry bread. Also had excellent biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Wish they were in my town.

We were charged 30% for canceling our Saturday night, October 11, reservation. I called to cancel early Thursday morning because the weather forecast was stormy with lightening and flash floods. I asked if they could take less of a percentage because this was beyond our control. We didn't feel safe driving in an unfamiliar area under adverse conditions. The manager, Mona, said no. This was an indirect answer since she relayed the message and didn't come to the phone to talk to me personally. We are planning on rescheduling our vacation in a week or two. We will not, however, stay at Gouldings. In the planning stages of this vacation I called Goulding and was quoted a price. When I called back to make the reservation I was quoted a different price. When I called to confirm the price, I was given yet another price. At no time was I told that if I canceled I would be charged 30%. I was told I would lose my deposit of $27.27, if I cancelled. I understood that. Today, when I called I was quoted yet a different price. While on that call, while waiting to talk to manager Mona, when the girl (not Mona) came back to the phone it was another price. Yikes! Do they just pull numbers out of the air??? The initial price was $233.10. Today, I was told $293.80. Somewhere along the line I was given a 20% discount from Val. Today, that discount went to 10%, and I owed $293.80. Go figure. My suggestion is this: keep on looking for places to stay. If you do decide on Goulding get a price etched in stone. These people are in the hospitality business!

Amazing views and resort. Cant beat waking up to sunrise in monument valley. Tour was outstanding and our guide had so much to add to the local history. So many westerns filmed in the area and for good reason. THIS is the way to do Monument Valley. We’ll be back!

Great spot to visit. It is $8.00 per person to enter. Parking is plentiful and paved so that is a huge plus. Great gift shop with souvenirs as well as handmade Native American items. The views alone are well worth the price of admission. There is a drive around the valley, but we did not attempt it on fully loaded motorcycles.

Great shop to buy souvenirs, handmade jwellery and craftwork. They have a restaurant and have an outdoor seating as well. Nice view of the mo uments from outdoor swsting where you can take pictures. Restrooms were clean.

Beautiful! Some of the dirt road is rough . We have a jeep so no troubles. Well worth the trip. Says about 2 to 4 hours. I think we were there at least 5 hours. Local people selling art and jewelry. Very serene peaceful and spiritual natural area. Admire and respect the land.

This is the Indogeous people of the US, - The Dine' or Navajo. They are wonderful people. Its long overdue that we support them in anyway we can. On top of that, the views are spectacular. And they have a small but wonderful museum here, w information about the Vode Talkers. Highly recommend

The Monument Valley Tribal Visitor Center is an excellent starting point for exploring one of the most iconic landscapes in the world. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient with every question. They provided clear information about road conditions, scenic viewpoints, and guided tour options, which really helped us plan our route. The center itself is clean, well-organized, and offers stunning panoramic views right from the balcony. The cultural exhibits and local artistry add depth to the experience, making it more than just a stop — it’s an introduction to the Navajo Nation’s history and traditions. Highly recommend beginning your visit here.

Well, let’s split this review in two parts: First: Monument Valley itself: It’s absolutely gorgeous!! You’ve seen it in the movies and now you can see it live. Absolutely fantastic and a must-see from my point of view! Second: What the Navajo tribe is doing: I’ve been to Monument Valley many times - and there are a few things that are just not okay. 1. The road through the valley is absolutely terrible! It has been for the past 25 years and it seems to me as if NOTHING is being done! I don’t expect a concrete paved road - but at least a road where I don’t have to be afraid my car is broken afterwards. You can really tell the difference between a NP and a park that is run by the tribes. 2. The Navajo want to make money out of EVERYTHING. On one of the view points in the valley drive you could also go horse riding. Well, the horses are standing there, waiting for customers. If you wanna take pictures of the horses, they urge you to give tip! I mean… WHAT?!? I should pay for taking a picture of an animal? What the heck? Then there is a very nice rock, perfect for taking picture with people standing on it. Years ago that was no problem. Now, you can’t go out there anymore, there is a fence. But you can sit on a horse on that very location and take a photo yourself for $20!! What a rip-off! Some Asian family did it and paid almost $100 dollars for the entire family to have their photo taken. Disgusting! 3. I’m super sorry to say that, but the Navajo were not too friendly to us. Whether it was in the gift shop or elsewhere in the park. What a pity. Friendliness is free and makes life nicer for everyone.

Compact building at the park entrance. There are exhibits on Navarrese culture, geology is presented there, and there is also a souvenir shop with jewelry, pottery, etc. The view from that spot is absolutely amazing.

A moderate hike filled with stunning views. I started mid afternoon to enjoy the afternoon sun illuminating the Mittens. It's a well-marked trail with several rest points with seating and shade.

In my humble opinion, the best activity in Monument Valley. You get to experience the buttes and landscape at your own pace up close and personal. It’s the only hike but it’s a really good one, once you get past the first 1km or so the trail gets quiet as most turn back. The views are incredible and you can take your time. I found on the tour we on,y got 5 mins in each location barely time to get a photo let alone to take it all in. It’s also free. Please though wear decent footwear for hiking and take water, we hiked in December, er and it still got warm.

After you take a car loop —you can drive small car to like I did -no problem make sure you take a hike there at wild cat trail !

A great walk (anti-clockwise) best setting off at sunrise (cool). Fairly steady walk, take water and you are walking in a hostile desert environment - Rattlesnake tracks seen in the sand! Cold drinks ($3 for one bottle or $5 for two) and an unmentionable toilet half way round.

Smooth trail ✅ Breath taking view ✅ Spot a wild horse ✅ Bring some snacks and water and you're set! Wonderful trail! 🏜️

My wife and I hiked the Wildcat Trail after driving the scenic route through the Monument Valley Tribal Park. We signed in on the clipboard at the desk on the lower level of the visitor center before heading to the trailhead. The trail starts from the parking lot. Taking this almost 4-mile trek afforded really amazing views of the two mitten buttes. We were much closer than when we were in the road and got to see both sides of the West Mitten. The first 2.5 miles of the trail were pretty easy since they were mostly downhill or on level ground. There were 3 or 4 shelters providing shade at irregular intervals on the trail. There was also a bench in the shade of a tree once. These were helpful since there is little respite from the sun. The temps were in the mid-80s when we did this in early June. The best unexpected treat was a primitive bathroom just after the 2-mile mark. The final mile is back up the hill. There are some sandy spots, but the trail is mostly hard-packed. It is well-marked. We took about 2.5 hours.

A must do while visiting Monument Valley ! Pure Serenity! Great views of the Monuments here . Took around 2 hrs to complete . This is one of the only trails you can access without a guide . Very convenient while staying in the cabins . This Trail was a gorgeous experience. Magestic!

Even if you are not a fan of the movie, this is still worth checking out, just for the views. We arrived at 9:30 on a Friday and there were already about 30 other people there. Crowds would come and go and for the most part everyone worked together to watch out for traffic and take turns getting photos & videos. There are plenty of pull off spaces along the side of the road, we were even able to find a spot large enough for our RV and tow car. I would imagine the earlier you can get here, the better for photos. You don't have to stand in the middle of the road for photos, in fact I think the photos that we took from the side of the road on the small hills came out better then the street ones.

Definitely a view to look at, but you won't get it without seeing people doing funny things. Maybe that's a bonus. Be careful as cars are going by high speed. Take your time and if you want to capture the view in photos, plan how you are going to frame it. Then when the road is clear, take your image. But again getting one clean image without people is a tricky one for sure.

This point is awesome, you can get the achievement of a classic movie and also review the impressive view. It was cloudy and wet day, so we barely saw the mountain behind. We stayed there for 1 hour wait for cloud fly away. It worth though hahaha. This point is on the way, watch out the car!!!

The place and the view are amazing. Not just for Forrest Gump fans. It is a normal road with cars going up and down (speed is slightly limited, but should be down to 20-25 mph for safety reasons), several pullouts for parking the cars. People we met standing, laying, walking... on the road had "no morals". There is unlimited combination of taking photo/video for a group of 3 people (camera on the road. One is running, second is running, 3rd is running, group is running, 1st is laying on the road... Each idea must be taken as a photo, then a video. From the road. From 1 meter high, from 2 meters. Each of 3 people has at least one mobile. It means that everything must be done repeatedly on every single device. It doesn't stop because they also have gopro... You have been standing there for 15 minutes, but another hero takes a tripod and goes in front of everyone and also does several photo shooting disciplines. And he is suddenly in the photos of all the other people for the next > 10 minutes)

​This location is more of a large scenic overlook than a traditional park. Despite its small size, it provides day-use areas and overnight dry camping spot. Visitors will find it easy to access, clean, and offering spectacular views.

Camping is $10.00 a night 2 night max is on display. Rock fire rings and pit toilets. Water faucet is next to ranger station. Pack in pack out. Day use is to right camping is to left. Did see car campers come in after Ranger left and leave before ranger started in morning. There is an honor iron ranger for after hours. No thrills camping but camping here is beautiful. You can camp right on the rim with a long drop down.

Well not sure if it qualifies to be a state park but the view was great. Road to get here was pretty smooth and is newly built. They do charge $5/ vehicle and the view is like 200 m from tge booth. It is a small place but worth visiting to get it off the list.

Stunning! Paved road until campground, it then becomes gravel but good condition. Campground has more than 8 spaces to park rv, in fact it can take as many as you can find space to park as it goes around the rim of the cliff.

Really pretty place to stop. Easy to access if you're traveling between the Canyonlands and Monument Valley. We didn't plan for much time here, but would love to go back, especially at night! Looks like an amazing place to do some stargazing and astrophotography. Good camping right along the rim and nice views of the San Juan River.

Great stop along our roadtrip. $5 day use fee. $10 fee to camp. Totally worth it either way. The entry fee collector was cute. " its just a lookout, nothing else" there are toilets at the look out. It was just a lookout, but a beautiful one!

Amazing views and an even better night sky. We dry camped here for one night at a cost of $10. Limited amenities available so bring what you need.

This was one of our favorite stops of our whole trip through NM, UT, CO and AZ near the four corners. Such stunning scenery, and an easy walk to get some great photos of the rock formation, the river below and the striated mountains to the east. We will be going back.

Super cool drive up situation, no hike if you dont want. I do believe this is normally a camping spot with electric entry. So amazed with rock structures and mother nature ability to always surprise us.

Located along U.S. Highway 163, this formation can be best viewed by taking the dirt road to Mexican Hat Rocks Dry Camping area. You can stop at the large dirt parking area or follow the road to the south at the fork in the road to get even closer. If you are only going to take photos of the formation you do not have to pay any entrance fee. This is an extraordinary sandstone formation and is known for its distinctive sombrero-like shape. While not inside the Monument Valley Tribal Park, it is still considered sacred by the Navajo Nation. The rock formation has a large, flat caprock (Cedar Mesa Sandstone) balanced on a narrower pedestal of softer rock (Halgaito Formation – shale and siltstone), which gives it the appearance of a wide brimmed hat (sombrero). This formation is part of the Cutler Group and date back to the Permian Period, over 250 million years ago. The formation is approximately 60 feet wide and 12 feet thick at the top, sitting atop a pedestal that is approximately 300 feet above the surrounding landscape.

I just hiked / climbed the Mexican Hat Rock. I started early morning. The normal route starts on the north side. I started on the south side to enjoy full sunlight. It does require some Class 3 climbing and there is some exposure. Stunning views.

Yes, Mexican Hat Rock is a pretty cool looking rock. It's fun to drive the dirt roads that surround it. But I was completely and pleasantly surprised by what I found on the road beyond it, down by the river - some astonishingly artistic red-rock riparian beauty. Take the time to drive down and see this one, if you can.

Loads of off grid camping spots. See the sign to register and pay online. Neat to see and cool surroundings.

The Mexican Hat rock formation is located near US 163, just north of the small town of Mexican Hat (named after the rock) in Utah. The area is easily accessible by car. The rock is visible to the east from the highway, but dirt roads lead to areas closer to the base of the rock formation. A trail network leads up from these dirt roads to underneath the balanced rock, although the last part of the trail may involve needing to scramble up relatively steep slopes. To climb the rock requires experienced rock climbers. The rock formation formed through different rates of erosion and weathering, with the softer layers of shale and siltstone being eroded faster from underneath the more resistant cap of sandstone. Such formations are generally temporary in geological terms, as continued erosion will eventually topple the Mexican Hat. The nearby town of Mexican Hat has various amenities, including hotels, restaurants, and a gas station. Several campgrounds are located in the area, including one near the rock.

A lesser version perhaps of Monument Valley, but much quieter traffic, a more difficult road, but still excep-tional. Words can't describe it fully, it just has to be seen. Although it was getting near sunset so the photos aren’t the best time of day it’s a fantastic area.

One of the best places in this region, untouched nature and silence. You can easily drive any car, after the rain you can get stuck in a sedan. Lots of photos of places

Valley of the Gods was pure magic. A peaceful drive through stunning desert landscapes that feel ancient, sacred, and humbling. The kind of place that reminds you just how small we are in the grand scheme of things—and how lucky we are to witness it. The trail itself isn’t extreme, but it does ask for a little respect. Make sure your vehicle can handle the terrain. We ended up pulling a minivan out of a sticky situation, so… choose your ride wisely and let the desert do the rest.

Even though more and more people are visiting this place each year (and for good reason), it remains an absolutely magical and epic place that simply must be experienced at least once in your life. I never get bored of it.

Magical and ethereal. Not for the faint-hearted driving-wise, especially after rains, which was our case. The silence is incredible

We have been here twice, and we absolutely love it. The silence, the view it is breathtaking :) I would never be able to pass this on a roadtrip without taking the turn to drive this masterpiece of a (dirt)road.

Great Terrain and a breath taking drive. Definitely a bucket list item!

Very easy to access. Visible from the road with binoculars, or you can get a few feet away by scrambling about 10 feet up a path that crosses in front of the rock face over a rough uneven path.

Sand Island is one of our favorite stops as we journey from Phoenix to Grand Junction CO. The Colorado River is so calming and is available with a boat ramp. The walking trail at the base of the cliffs show the artwork on the rock of pictographs and petroglyphs that tell you the stories of their journeys. It's also a beautiful photo of opportunity and there is camping & overnight parking available. The whole campground as well cared for

Very interesting. My grandson loved it a good place to stop,stretch,and take pictures.

It was a nice quick stop. Free and fast. Then back on the road

Easy access off hwy. No hiking needed. Interesting petroglyphs. Quick stop. Recommend even if you only have a few minutes

Really nice panel of Petroglyphs. Really easy to get too, drive right up to them. 😊

Great, very long wall (in 2 sections) of petroglyphs!

In February 2025, we visited the Bluff Fort Historic Site, in Bluff, Utah, which is in Southeastern Utah. The Bluff Fort is open to the public with a free admission. The buildings, displays m, and exhibits are incredible and cleverly done. We learned about the Mormon Pioneers who settled Bluff, as they traveled over 100 miles in rugged desert terrain during the Winter of 1879 to 1880. We came away with a much greater sense of history of the sacrifices and efforts of these early settlers. It was great to walk through Bluff Fort and step inside the different log cabins and other buildings and appreciate the work of these early settlers. Bluff Fort is an amazing place and definitely worth the free admission visit.

We found this place by accident, just driving & decided to stop. So glad we did! Terry in the store, was fantastic explaining everything to us. The movie did a wonderful job of portraying the history. David gave us some great routes to explore in Utah. The Fort is very well done & it’s Free!!!

A welcomed surprise on our tour thru the four corners region. Entrance into the fort is free and the displays managed by descendants of the original settlers were well put together and interesting. We spent a couple of hours here and then came back in the evening for a free concert. Definitely recommend this place.

What a fun visit! So many things to do and see for free (donations accepted). The cookies, huckleberry ice cream and peanut brittle were so delicious. The gift shop had so many unique items and beautiful quilts.

Excellent stop on our road trip to stretch our legs. Interesting historical venue with a gift shop, clean restrooms and ice cream for our pregnant daughter. The lime and vanilla swirl in a cup was cool, refreshing and very delicious! Also bought some yummy treats - english toffee brittle and rocky road fudge. Perfect stop on our way cross country.

An amazing and free place. Much to learn about the journey to settle this area. Made for both kids and adults. The volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly. We bumped into it by accident and it is one of the highlights the kids remember. Exhibits are both indoor and outdoor so appropriate for any weather. Worth watching the movie (or at least part of it) to understand the different cabin exhibits

This historic site is open 24 hours, but the visitor center and gift shop are only open daily from 0900 – 1800 hours during the spring and summer. Entrance to this site is free but they do welcome donations, which we recommend. Besides the fort, there is a visitor center, gift shop, food court, restrooms, covered picnic areas and you can even pan for gold. For those interested in history, this is a must stop to tour this fort, which at one time was a major stopping point for travelers and traders and experience just a taste and sense of adventure and all the fort’s rugged charm.

The trail follows a dry riverbed and took us about an hour to complete. The scenery was stunning and well worth the visit. The trailhead lacks signage, and without the ranger’s directions at Nature Bridge National Park, we might have missed it.

Was a pretty area to hike in and visit. We didn't have time to wait for the sun to shine and make it look like it was on fire so unfortunately we miss that.

Incredibly well preserved Ansestoral Puebloen ruins. A short hike mostly in a wash with some light scrambling at the end.

Nice hike, not difficult, about 2 miles out and back. You follow the wash all the way to the end. The ruins at the end are beautiful.

Went to House On Fire, then hiked another 1.5 miles to see a ruin. We got there about 8:30 a.m. and we couldn't catch the right lighting till almost noon. By then it was pretty warm and we were running out of water. We had a wonderful time, met some new people and we all were after the same thing. By the way you can't see it with your eyes.

What a great place to hike to. Very easy, with only a mile, and no elevation change. On a Tuesday morning in November, there were very few people on the entire trail.

This was the easiest hike to ruins we have been too. Way easier than butler wash, Navajo National Monument etc. You park on the side of the road and walk the canyon. This hike is exactly 1 mile long and the trail is relatively flat. If you go at the right time of day these ruins light up like they are on fire hence why these ruins are called “House of Fire”.

Very nice museum and adjacent outdoor display. We loved the gift shop, which by the way, does not only offer very cool merchandise of Edge of the Cedars, but also from Goosenecks State Park. The collection of artifacts is beautiful and the short introductory film very informative. Entrance fee is only $ 5.00 per person. It was a plus for us to be able to take our dog to the outdoor exhibit, and the lady behind the counter was super nice. We had a great experience.

This is a great museum and not at all what I expected! They have multiple types of exhibits from a video, to a photo gallery, to displays (including an extensive pottery room), to actual ruins, it has everything! There’s a nice little gift shop as well. We spent a couple of hours there and didn’t even get to read everything.

Must see stop. Very nice collections, exhibitions and film. You can go in back to see a real ruin. Our favorite part was reading testimonials from people who discovered artifacts.

Excellent museum.. so many relics from all over the 4 corner area

Wonderful museum with inside and outside exhibits. Learn more about local ancient cultures.

Great museum, perfect for kids. The tour felt informative and well mapped. Everything on display was really cool. The museum director had some fascinating insights on ceramic lineages and modern ceramic impressions. Bring your friends!!

Fascinating llmisrim.onnan unassuming town Who knew they had a first rate museum about ancient people and their culture? I sure didn't, but was fortunate to run into someone who recommended it. I'm glad they did because we learned so much about the artifacts, especially pottery, the housing (kivas versus pits), the tools, the petroglyphs, etc, both in the exhibit indoors (don't miss the second floor!) and the outdoor one which allows you to climb a ladder down into an underground kiva. They also have a small but excellent museum shop with lots of goodies, including books , t-shirts, jewelry made by indigenous people, etc. All in all, a very positive experience, made me want to learn more!

The visitor center of Blanding was a nice location in town. The workers were very nice and were able to be helpful when asking for directions. They do have an assortment of choices when it comes to maps and books, as well as souvenirs for those just going through. Overall, it’s a good spot in town to get the best information!

There are tons of non commercial NPS and Utah state maps and brochures for natural attractions around the area. The woman on staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helped steer us to excellent places in Natural Bridges and routes we would otherwise not have known. She drew on the maps, made notes, and estimated mileage. The center & restrooms are clean. A great place to stop to plan sightseeing or get more info about a plan already made.

When traveling between Arches/Canyonlands and Natural Bridges/Monument, you must stop here. This is the nicest visitor center we've come across in our decades of road trips. They have immaculately clean restrooms, a nice exhibit space, loads of maps, brochures, and guidebooks, and one of the nicest and helpful visitor center hosts we've met. She gave us a lot of great tips for our trip in the area.

This was a wonderful surprise on our way from Moab to Page AZ! Lots of free and for sale maps offered, some local artifacts, clean bathrooms and a very nice and helpful lady with travel advice. Outstanding - thanks!

Very knowledgable and friendly staff who gave excellent hiking and camping recommendations. A great place to go to-- I've never enjoyed a visitor's center experience as much as I did this one! Blanding is a gem!

Very clean bathrooms. easy to get in and out of with a trailer. Free maps and some souvenirs to purchase. Friendly staff. Nice picnic area green grass for the dogs.

Very nice spot to stop, its getting a new roof but large outdoor space playground, restrooms were clean. Good information, cool things to see.

This was a FABULOUS hike. Wore me out but well worth it. Spectacular sights all the way around. Crossing it canyon was an adventure too. I love everything about this place. The air conditioned visitor center felt so good after an hour and a half in the hot sun.

Great little hiking loop around the upper end of the canyon with some close and not-so-close views of architecturally unique towers and dwellings. While we did enjoy coming out here at least once, we felt more impressed by Chimney Rock and Aztec Ruins as they felt far more interactive and personal.

Out in the middle of nowhere land. BUT, such amazing examples of the talents of the ancient ones in building housing and water gathering. Rugged and hostile in the summer. Cold and difficult in the winter. Walking tour around the perimeter approximately 2 miles. Well worth the effort. Absolutely an amazing place!

The Square Tower loop trail at Hovenweep NM is an easy trail with multiple Ancestral Pueblo buildings along this canyon mostly within sight of each other. I love the one within the boulder since it's unique. I attended one of the ranger talks about it while I was there which was informative.

Very neat place to see pueblo ruins. Along the cliffs. A 2 mile loop allows you to see the whole pueblo. The 2 mile loop involves climbing down and up the canyon. Well done trail. Even has benches to rest. You will be in full sun with little shade.

This place is amazing. I hiked into Painted Hand Pueblo and Cutthroat pueblo. Absolutely breathtaking. I was able to take some amazing photos and it was so quiet and peaceful. There were no crowds. I saw six other people combined at both places and there were only a dozen or so people at the Visitors Center, including park employees, while I was there. This is a must see for anyone interested in the Ancestral Puebloan peoples... Or even if they are not.

It was a bit disappointing. You a lot of walking to not see very much. I don't think its anything like the descriptions you read where it says its the best ruins anywhere. I've seen better. Much better.

Truly one of the more spectacular places I've seen in my life in my travels around the world. I've seen some amazing things and this is one of the few places that gives you the feeling of insignificance in the grand scheme of things like the grand canyon. The views are breathtaking, traffic to get in wasn't bad, but beware that there is very little cell phone signal anywhere out here. Some of the trails are poorly marked and some of them have a lot of steps that are in poor condition from rain and erosion.

I visited Canyonlands National Park and was completely blown away by the massive red rock canyons and endless panoramic views. The overlooks were stunning, especially at sunrise, and the hiking trails gave a real sense of adventure and peace. What I didn’t love was how few shaded areas there were — the heat can get pretty intense, and some trails felt a bit poorly marked. Still, it’s an incredible and unforgettable place that’s absolutely worth the trip if you love wild landscapes and open skies.

Absolutely gorgeous! The views are breathtaking and the natural landscape looks like a dream. Don’t skip out on this park if you are nearby. It was 100% worth the visit. If you can enjoy the night sky and stargaze. We were able to see the Milky Way. It was beautiful!

This is a beautiful park. The canyons are spectacular, and vast, though not as colorful as the Grand Canyon. You can see a lot from your car, but for the full experience hit some of the hiking trails.

Absolutely stunning vistas. Big horn sheep. Off roading and camping in the middle of nowhere and having one of the funnest vacations of my life with 3 of my sons and daughters in law. We did Shafer trail one day, then White Rim trail over 2 days. Cannot wait to go back and do it all again!

This is a large park. I recommend a full day to see it. There is a lot of hiking/walking to the main points. There is also two entrances to the park. The first one is up on the north end by Moab and Dead Horse State Park. This is where the Island in the Sky visitor center is located. Almost every stop after you park there is a short walk to the view. The Mesa Arch is a short hike. On a decent trail. I would plan on taking water and planning on a hour. Even if you are not in great physical shape you can do this. It is well worth it. On the south east side of the park is the other entrance to the needles. You will loose internet access to maps on your way there. I would recommend taking a few photos of maps before going, unless you already have the park map the road is on that to the park.

Incredible with immense grandeur. Between arches and Canyonlands, Canyonlands has much longer trails, more open space, and easier avenues to avoid crowds. If you have time, check out both the main part of the park and the needles district to the south. My highlights were Druid arch and Murphy canyon.

This was an amazing place!! So glad we finally took the time to stop. What a beautiful canyon! Newspaper rock was amazing, could stay there and look at it for a long time. For sure one of my favorite stops. Well worth to trip!

This is a don't miss stop on your way to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. One of a kind area to observe a wide variety of petroglyphs ranging in age. It was just a few steps from the parking lot to see this wonder. There are bathrooms here and another trail off into the wilderness. Spend over 30 mins looking at all the different marks. Very cool and easy stop.

Petroglyphs are images carved or pecked into the surface of the rock. This site is located in San Juan County, along Utah State Route 211. The images are believed to be created by ancestral Puebloan people living, farming, and hunting along the Puerco River between 650 and 2,000 years ago. Fascinating

Pretty cool petroglyphs South of Moab and North of Monticello Utah. In Bears Ears National Monument. There is no fee or reservations required. A group of people were leaving just as we arrived and we were there by ourselves for several minutes before some others arrived. Just off Hwy 211, there is a small parking lot with a few motorhome or longer vehicle parking and about 15 normal sized stalls. The walk is about 100 ft from the parking lot and very easy to access.

Such a cool thing to see. Drive the back way to/from Monticello on the Forest Service Rd and add an easy extra bit of sight-seeing to your trip. We saw lots of wildlife.

We stopped at Newspaper Rock State Historical Monument on the drive out to Canyonlands National Park Needles District. Located about 15 miles west of state route 191 on the Indian Creek Corridor Scenic Byway (SR 211) in Bears Ears National Monument. There was a nice size parking area with plenty of parking and we stopped there to have a picnic lunch. The newspaper rock was an amazing display of ancient carvings and one of the largest known collections of petroglyphs. The surrounding area was absolutely stunning as well. A must see if you are visiting the Needles District.

This was a neat stop on our way to Canyonlands NP. This had more petroglyphs than Arches. It was also less crowded, which is always a plus with me!!!!! No cost to see too!

Erinn helped us out at the visitors center. She encouraged my friends and I to do the junior ranger program and it ended up being a highlight of our Canyonlands trip. She swore us in as junior rangers with her own inspiring words that made us feel so loved, and I hope to remember them forever. Erinn is so passionate about the parks. She taught us about different animals, their purpose, and how to respect them. WE LOVE ERINN SO MUCH!! ❤️❤️

Nice little visitor center with a gift shop and museum at the entrance of the Needles section of Canyon lands NP. Very informative and friendly staff. Good place to buy some souvenirs and learn about the park before going further.

Great helpful staff. Loved the area, so beautiful. You need to add Needles District signage. Island in the Sky has their own sign.

Wow. I enjoyed the Needles area more than the Island in the Sky area. I heard other people say the same thing. The drive into Needles is similar to a smaller Zion Canyon, Vermillion Cliffs and some Monument Valley all rolled into one. Great views and easy hiking trails. One of the best things was almost no people visit this side since it's about 50 miles for Moab but well worth the drive.

Jonathon Jessup, one of the rangers there was extremely helpful with trail planning including a color coded map! Thanks Jonathon. I also met 2 EMT's from this area. Emily and Austin were amazing, very supportive and informative. Thanks guys.

Very informative. They offer masks for those that don’t have one. Decent restrooms. WiFi is ok, can’t download offline maps. There is a self serve water refill. Passport book items and stamps are located outside the store.

Nice visitor center. There’s a small museum with some informational displays about the area. Good selection of souvenirs and gifts in the store.

Absolutely beautiful! The hike was relatively easy but I would recommend coming early (around sunrise) because it gets a little crowded. The view was stunning and I would definitely go again!

No fault to the arch itself but the crowds are insane at sunrise. It’s all people who have professional camera and they are all lined up in front. They only stayed for one minute after the sun rose but need not get in their way because they will yell at you like they did this one lady stating: “No No No! YOURE IN THE FULL SHOT!” If you don’t get there at 4:00am- you won’t beat them. Nonetheless, the views from around the arch are spectacular and worth staying after they all leave to explore around the area.

Mesa Arch isn’t just a viewpoint—it’s an experience. Tucked into the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands, this modest-looking arch becomes something extraordinary when the sun rises behind it. If you get there early, you’ll see the underside of the arch glow with fiery orange light, framing a vast canyon and distant peaks in a way that feels almost unreal. The hike to the arch is short and easy—just about half a mile round trip on a well-marked trail. But despite its simplicity, the reward at the end is immense. You walk up to it and suddenly, the entire world seems to open up through that stone window. It’s one of those places where time feels like it slows down. People speak in hushed tones, cameras click softly, and everyone is just…watching. Watching the light change, the shadows dance, and the canyon come alive beneath the arch. It can get crowded at sunrise, but there’s a quiet reverence among those who make the early trek. It’s not just about the photo (though you’ll want to take plenty)—it’s about being there, in that moment, witnessing something timeless. Mesa Arch may not be the biggest or the longest, but it holds something special. It’s one of those rare places that stays with you, long after you’ve walked back to your car.

We didn't carry too much hope in seeing the mesa arch sunrise due to the cloudy night. The hike was a short and easy 10 minutes walk under the moon. We waited there till the official sunrise hour. Due to the cloud cover, there wasn't a beam of sunrise. We insisted another 30 minutes, everything changed.

One of the highlights at Canyonland national park. It is a short walk towards the Arch from the parking lot. It is beautiful and it makes a great picture spot. There are places where you can sit on the rock and enjoy the view during the day.

Well worth the trip just for this experience alone. Amazig and sunrise with the glow underneath the arch short 0.6mi trail to and from the arch is easy. Gets crowded and not that much parking with everyone parking along the road.l and a wait to take photos. There's also a restroom in the parking lot.

Mesa Arch is truly a breathtaking natural wonder. The arch itself is stunning, especially at sunrise when the light filters through and creates a magical glow. The hike to the arch is relatively easy and offers incredible views of the surrounding canyon and landscape. It’s a perfect spot for photography and appreciating the beauty of nature. I visited with friends, and we were all in awe of the scenery. It’s definitely a must-see destination for anyone exploring the area!

This place is awesome! $20 a car to get in. The Visitor center is cool. It has amazing views, a walking path and the gift shop has all kinds of goodies that aren't terribly expensive. Bathrooms are outside around the side of the building. After that follow 313 to the end. Here there are several places to stop and take photos. There is a building in the center with bathrooms in it. There are also several picnic shelters. You can also get married here. There are 5 different spots. We thought Cliff Side was the best but it was also the most difficult to get to and there is no wall just cliff so be careful especially with kids. There is also 25 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. I haven't tried them yet but when I do I will update this review. Have fun!

This is a great park!! I think the views at the overlook at the end of the road are better than Capital Reef with the bend in the Colorado River and salt ponds, also with shaded areas for eating and restrooms. There are a handful of hiking and biking trails. Great visitor center with a short nature trail and overlook. Well worth the $20 entrance fee.

We visited the Dead Horse National Park. It was just beautiful! We drove up to the top point and enjoyed a picnic lunch under an overhang with cliff seating and benches in the shade. The restroom was clean and beautifully tiled walls. We saw the place where the Thelma & Louise car was driven off the cliff for the movie too!

This state park offers great views of Colorado River canyon. The views are quite open, you can see far way and a bend of the river (similar to Horseshoe Bend). You can watch both sunrise and sunset of the canyon. As there is no camping site in nearby Cayonland National Park, this state park can be used for camping after visiting the Canyonland National Park, they both offer great views of the canyon and Colorado River. The camping sites here are well maintained, very clean. Some sites are not car assessable, you need park the car in nearby parking spot and carry all you camping stuff to the site. It was very windy in April and we felt that the tent could be blew away any time during the night. Strongly recommended.

Underrated mini Grand Canyon that’s much less busy! We stayed in a yurt in the campgrounds and it was fantastic. There was Ac in the unit and a little sky light in the middle! Saw the most amazing starry sky! Very close spectacular drive to arches as well!

I’ve decided we should rename this place Happy Horse. Dead horse is a terrible name with a horrible legend! But the trails made me happy- super fun on an ebike and highly recommended as your last ride before you leave Moab. You know, after you’ve ridden Ahab and your body feels like Mufasa in the wildebeest gorge. This trail was a nice recovery ride with just enough features and flow to be interesting, challenging and fun! And they have a ?crow or raven? who is super friendly and came right over to me! It was a bit more chilly than down in Moab so bring layers.

This location holds a special place in my heart since I have rafted the bend many years ago. I would put this as a quick stop over if you are in the Moab area but not somewhere I would go out of my way to go to. To me it is worth the entrance price since roughly same view you could get from Horse Shoe bend and more accessible (Horse Shoe bend is prettier with the colors but in summer the hike is miserable). Very pretty in morning but to get some deep shadows for photography.

It's a roadside attraction and very cool. The story of how it came to be is very interesting! Short little tour of the house but you cannot take pictures in there, it's worth a stop and to do. Outside, the property had lots of thing art and things to check out which was very pretty. They have a general store and a trading post. We got there right as the petting zoo was closing, so bummed we couldn't check that out!

Such a fun stop if you’re passing through the area. The Trading Post had a great selection of unique and handcrafted items. There are surprises around every corner as you stroll around the property (be sure to look for Big Foot), and there are fun activities perfect for breaking up a long drive. Be sure to tour the house… Austin is a fantastic guide!

My daughter and I were there yesterday. There's nothing to see there at all. A couple of souvenir shops, a restroom, and a small zoo with its characteristically distinctive smell. We paid about $20 for two and a bucket of chopped vegetables for the prisoners 🥹. The camel was quite friendly and happily ate almost the entire bucket. There are also a few goats, llamas, donkeys, bison, and a few birds. If you're looking for something to entertain the kids on your trip, this is the place.

Pretty cool spot and tour was worth the small price. Got to learn some cool history from my guide. Also 2 amazing sculptures outside.

What a cool stop! We did the short tour through the house…worth the $8-9. The art on property was also cool. They once ran a restaurant out of the hole and it would have been nice to get something to eat while visiting.

This Hole N The Rock is fun, quirky, and a great photo op. Why would you have a 5000 sq ft house built here? No idea because I didn’t go on the tour. We took a bunch of photos and bought an $8 magnet though.

Fun little stop on the side of the road! Had a zoo and cute little shops. Also restrooms! I’ve heard the house tour was awesome but we were short on time.

Moderate hike with really fun features like crossing the railroad tracks, a ladder, and steep slick rock steps with a chain. Really rewarding and lots of places to take breaks. I would recommend this to anyone going to Moab. 3 arches visible on this hike.

An absolute must do and in the Moab area. This is a relatively short hike, just over a mile each way. The hike is relatively easy. The last section is a little tricky but if you just go slow, it’s no problem. It’s so fun to be able to walk up under the arch and see it from both sides. We’ve been here multiple times and keep coming back over and over each time we come to Moab with someone new.

This is such a beautiful hike. It’s 30 minutes from Moab and starts right next to the Colorado River. There are no fees. It’s family and dog friendly. It gets busy but it’s so large you don’t feel overwhelmed by the people. It’s spring break so lots of families, dogs and students out in hoards out today.

Amazing experience with my dog. The scenery is gorgeous, the trail is a little bit challenging for the big dogs, I’m talking about the real crawling period, but my Coco made it.

This is one of my favorite short hikes in Moab. Quick, beautiful, and with stunning views. You can also turn it into a trail run.

Easy hike with beautiful views! The trail is easy to follow. It has a steep spot where hikers can get bottlenecked. Most of the tougher part of the trail is slickrock. Wear good shoes with good grip. Not the most dog friendly trails but it's doable. Go check out Pinto Arch as well, it's worth the extra trek!

If you have visitors or tweens or teens, this is always a fun hike for them. Older ones with balance issues will not do well on this hike. We saw a lot of people carrying younger ones for safety reasons, or they pooped out. The hike has a decent ascent, and then it flattens out. You are hiking on sandstone rocks, so wear shoes with a good grip. With the help of a chain, you ascend up a rock. Next, a small ladder helps you to the next plateau. You will only have a few hundred yards to go to reach the arch. Coming back down, the ladder and chain seem a little more difficult for us older ones. I feel like this hike is fun for all ages. Take your time, bring a little water, and enjoy.

The mind boggles trying to figure out the communication. Interesting design. Exceptionally easy to view.

This is amazing! My first time seeing petroglyphs. I am not from Utah so this was definitely something new to me. It was very cool seeing the drawing. I hope that people realize the value of these places and stop vandalizing.

Beautiful golf course surrounded by stunning red rock. Very well kept course, smooth greens, friendly staff. We look forward to playing again the next time we're in Moab!

This panel is amazing to see because you can walk or drive up to it! It's next to the golf course. Once you see a white sign that says The Robertson's you've made it to the rock with a wooden fence around it.

Easiest petroglyphs around to get to and not crowded

There they are, easy to get to, not crowded. What is the real history of this land? Hard to know!

2,000 year old art that you can drive up to and enjoy, go check it out.
