Visitors wanting to make
the drive, but not really drive
the whole way to Monument Val-
ley, can now call the Front Desk.
Beginning in the new year, one can
book an unforgettable Monument Valley
tour and experience from
the convenience of the
Quality Inn Tuba City.
Tuba City has become
known as the “Hub” of
Northern Arizona and is
situated nicely in be-
tween magnificent Grand
Canyon, Lake Powell, and
Monument Valley.
Relax and arrive in Tuba City on Friday;
check-in and enjoy a wonderful tour of
the Explore Navajo Interactive Museum,
a one-stop cultural experience. It is an
extraordinary look at the Navajo people,
society, accomplishments and historic
contributions. The Museum was created
with the help of leading Navajo scholars,
museum personnel and the Navajo artistic
community to provide a vibrant experience
for people of all ages and all nations. The
premiere of this cultural exhibit was at the
2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake
City. The showcase marked the first time
the Navajo Nation, in its own words, told
its story to the world. Come and view this
exquisite glimpse into a world and culture
like no other!
After a hearty dinner at the Hogan
restaurant, slip into the Hogan Espresso
and More coffee shop for a nice warm cup
of coffee on the patio and enjoy one of the
best Southwest sunsets. Slowly relax into a
meditation that gets you prepared for the
journey tomorrow. The Quality Inn Navajo
Nation in Tuba City, AZ has the pleasure of
tucking you into a comfortable slumber.
Arise the next morning
and order up your choice of
complimentary hot break-
fast. From sausage biscuit
to French toast, there is
something to enjoy. Simp-
son’s Trailhandler Tours
will meet you after break-
fast for a quick run-down
of the day’s itinerary. Then board your van
and begin your dash to Monument Valley.
Along the way you’ll see several historical
sites and modern homes to contrast. Na-
vajoland has so much to offer an inquiring
guest. Stories and myths dated many years
before bring clarity to this country within
a country.
Arrive in Monument Valley and explore
for a couple of hours. Have local guides
tell you the stories that were carried down
to them from generations prior. Listen to
songs and music as you come to the serene
moment you have been searching for. After
the final group shot photo has been taken,
surrender your energy... and let Simpson
Trailhandlers bring you back to Tuba City.
Enjoy dinner, and kick off your shoes in
your room. Review your digital photos,
place stamps on your postcards and call it
a day.
You’ve enjoyed an amazing three-day
weekend; now time to head home.
