Navajo National Monument - Plan Your VisitOperating Hours & Seasons The visitor center is open 8 AM to 5 PM, seven days a week. Both campgrounds are open, but one closes in fall, winter, and spring. Call for details. They are free, and we do have water. Two short overlook trails are rewarding. The longer hikes to Betatakin/Talastima and Keet Seel/Kawestima are available daily in summer. Please check for tour schedule by calling (928) 672-2700. Getting There Plane The closest major airport is Sky Harbor in Phoenix, AZ; travel by rental car is 4.5 hours (278 miles). Car Paved AZ Hwy 564 turns north off US-160 at Black Mesa, and leads to the visitor center. Bus There is space to turn around in the parking lot at the visitor center. Public Transportation No public transportation is available. Getting Around The monument is small; AZ Hwy 564 ends at the border. Sunset View Campground is just beyond the visitor center, and the two always-open overlook trails are behind the visitor center. Canyon View Campground is 1/2 mile distant; just keep following the paved road. The guided hikes to Betatakin/Talastima and Keet Seel/Kawestima traverse difficult terrain, with steep switchbacks, sand hills, quicksand, and other backcountry hazards slowing travel. These two backcountry hikes require free ranger guides or permits and are recommended only for experienced and fit hikers. |
