Getting There

By Plane
The closest major airport is Sky Harbor in Phoenix, AZ; travel by rental car is 4.5 hours (278 miles).

By Car
Major highways transit the Navajo Nation; paved AZ Hwy 564 turns north off US-160 at Black Mesa, and leads to the visitor center.

By Public Transportation
No public transportation is available.

Getting Around the Park
The monument is small; AZ Hwy 564 ends at the border. The campground is just beyond the visitor center, and the two overlook trails are behind the visitor center. The guided hikes to Betatakin and Keet Seel traverse difficult terrain, with steep switchbacks, sand hills, quicksand, and other backcountry hazards slowing travel. Backcountry travel requires ranger guides or permits and is recommended only for experienced and fit hikers.
