Monument Valley route

irishdec · 02-21-2008, 02:49 PM

Hi all ,I'm planning a trip to Mexico from Toronto in March/april and my son wants to return via Monument Valley...we're only running street tires,so cross country is not in the cards,but can someone direct us to the best sights in Monument Valley,using these kinds of tires?
Regards to all

I came down through 4 Corners on RT 160 from Colorado, through Mexican Water, Arizona, to Kayenta where I made a right onto 163 to Mexican Hat, Utah. Rt 261 to Rt 95 to Blanding, took 191 to Moab. I don't know the other roads, but this is a very scenic ride!!

Great but it is called Layin' down tracks, so where's the tracks?

There is an exceptional ride into Monument Valley tribal Park, gravel and sand but a great ride if you have never been into the canyons, etc. Also you can camp at the park, primitive but awesome views. Trust me, nothing in Canada to compare, and I know you have great scenery also, road thru Canada to Alaska last summer.
