national monument navajo
Which of these southwestern monuments should we visit?
Please recommend 2 or 3 which we should visit. I’m assuming no one has been to all of these, but if you have been to one or even a few of these, please tell me if we should or should not visit them. Thank you!
-Bandelier National Monument
- Jemez State Monument
- Montezuma Castle National Monument
- Navajo National Monument
- Canyon de Chelly National Monument
- Mesa Verde National Park
I can see what you’re trying to do here but Bandelier & Jemez are kind of sort of out of the loop unless your starting in that part of New Mexico
Where you starting and ending ?
If you’re starting in Phoenix
then this works:
Montezuma
Walnut Canyon
Sunset Crater /Wupatki
Tuba City/Moenkopi
Across the Hopi Mesa’s on sr 264
Ganado Trading Post
ChinleAZ /Canyon De Chelly >pronounced “De Shay”
Mesa Verde NP
Mexican Hat UT >Make the Detour for the Goosenecks of the SanJuan SP
Navajo National Monument via Monument Valley & Kayenta
Page AZ
Lee’s Ferry AZ
Cameron AZ >detour to Grand canyon NP
Flagstaff AZ
Make the left onto US 160 at Valle
US 89A down Oak Creek Canyon and into Sedona
Then back to I-17 at Montezuma
Have fun
