Monument Valley, Arizona

We have had many friends recommend Monument Valley as something that we must see during our RV travels, so we put it on the schedule and were excited to see the sites. When you visit the area, you can see the most famous formations right from the main road. The area around the formations are Indian reservation land, so they charge a hefty fee to get into the visitor center and to do a self driving tour on the extremely bad dirt road. Don't plan to drive yourself on the road unless you have a true off road vehicle with high clearance. We set the Jeep at the highest clearance on the adjustable suspension and still scrapped in many locations. Even if the road was better, the view of the formations is much better from the main highway. We would recommend saving the time and money by not going onto the reservation area. One of the funny touristy things in the area is to take a picture on the road where they filmed one of the scenes from Forrest Gump. Traffic is still moving through this area at speed, so you need to be on your toes when jumping out into the middle of the road for your picture.
