Monument Valley Scenic Drive — Attraction in Four Corners States

Driving through Monument Valley Scenic Drive was an absolutely breathtaking experience! The 17-mile dirt road takes you through some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring landscapes in the Southwest. Every turn reveals stunning rock formations like the Mittens, Merrick Butte, and John Ford’s Point, each more impressive than the last.

The drive is well-marked and easy to navigate, though a high-clearance vehicle is recommended for a smoother ride. The vast desert scenery, combined with the changing colors of the sky, creates a magical atmosphere, especially during sunrise or sunset.

That said, once you finally get in, the Scenic Drive itself is truly impressive and the views are breathtaking. The landscape deserves 5 stars – but the way it’s run...
