- Muley Point East - The first of two scenic lookouts offering expansive views across the San Juan Cliffs and extending to Monument Valley.
- Muley Point - While gazing across the San Juan Valley, try to spot John’s Canyon Road at the base of the cliffs. On a clear day, you might also catch a glimpse of Monument Valley’s iconic buttes and mesas in the distance.
- Moki Dugway - The Moki Dugway road is both breathtaking and challenging. This three-mile stretch winds down twelve hundred feet of cliffside through sharp switchbacks. With an 11 percent grade, the unpaved road lacks guardrails but offers several viewpoints to admire the road and surrounding vistas.
- Valley of the Gods Road - From Moki Dugway, enjoy views of the vast landscapes and towering monoliths of the Valley of the Gods.
- Valley of the Gods - Often called “mini Monument Valley,” this experience is anything but small. Grand red sandstone monuments stretch endlessly along this rugged dirt road. The western entrance exits near Bluff, while the eastern entrance is just below the Moki Dugway.
- Goosenecks State Park - This quaint state park features a short paved drive to the goosenecking San Juan River overlook, followed by a long, bumpy dirt road for further exploration. A small fee is required.
- Sand Island Petroglyphs - This landmark and recreation area showcases Native American rock art dating from 300 to 3,000 years ago.
- The Rincon - This impressive rincon is a massive butte within a now-dry oxbow lake. The bumpy dirt road requires a 4-WD vehicle.
- Mexican Hat Rock Formation - As the name suggests, this large red rock resembles an upside-down sombrero. While visible from the road, visitors can hike and scramble to the top for a closer look.
- Mexican Hat - This small town, just south of the notable Mexican Hat Rock, is an excellent stop for hungry travelers, curious visitors, and those wishing to stretch their legs by the San Juan River.
- Forrest Gump Point - “I’m pretty tired. Think I’ll go home now.” This iconic movie scene was filmed in a location as remarkable as the film itself. This quick roadside stop is a favorite among tourists and is completely free!
- Brick Arch film location for “Once Upon a Time in the West” - Known as the “hanging arch” from the classic film “Once Upon a Time in the West,” most of it has fallen, but the base remains intact, making it a worthwhile visit for film enthusiasts.
- Monument Valley Overlook - This roadside stop provides excellent views of the northeastern red rock features of Monument Valley.
- モニュメントバレー展望所 - Even without entering the Monument Valley Tribal Park, this scenic road offers views of monuments like The King on His Throne, the Stagecoach, and Brigham’s Tomb.
- Goulding’s Lodge - Goulding’s Lodge and Trading Post is a historic landmark. Stop by for a meal, an overnight stay, or to learn about Navajo and film history at the museum.
- Navajo Welcome Center - The Navajo Welcome Center is a perfect place to refresh, learn about local tours, and purchase handcrafted souvenirs. It’s also where you can start your Monument Valley Shaka Guide Tour if you’ve bought it.
- Monument Valley - Monument Valley gained fame with John Ford’s classic western, “Stagecoach.” Today, its picturesque towers, buttes, and mesas are nearly synonymous with the American West.
- Navajo Indian Market - This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire artisanal Navajo souvenirs, such as woolen rugs, silver jewelry, or authentic leatherworks.
