3. Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park
Located 23 miles north of Kayenta on U.S. 163. Famous from dozens of Hollywood Westerns, the red sandstone buttes are the very image of Navajo Land. A 17-mile loop drive through the park is too rough for RVs but a must for anyone else. It is run by the Navajo Nation.

4. First Mesa, Walpi
Located on Arizona 264 nine miles west of Keams Canyon, Hopi Reservation. You can only visit the ancient village of Walpi with a guide, and you can't take photos. But a trip to this stone village clinging to the cliff top is imperative. Drive up the mesa and park in front of Ponsi Hall, the village community center, where you can sign up for a tour.

5. Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, Ganado
8 miles west of Window Rock on Arizona 264. John Lorenzo Hubbell first opened this trading post in 1876. It still functions as a store for local residents and is run by the National Park Service. A visitors' center has exhibits, and Navajo crafts are for sale. Phone (520) 755-3475.

6. Window Rock
On U.S. 264 on the Arizona/New Mexico border. The town, built near the rock formation of the same name, serves as administrative capital for the reservation.

A new museum and crafts center is under construction.

7. Navajo National Monument
On Arizona 564, nine miles north of U.S. 160 and Black Mesa. Several Anasazi cliff dwellings are hidden among the maze of canyons in this part of the reservation.

9. Little Colorado River Gorge Navajo Tribal Park

10. Dinosaur tracks
