Search hotels in Tuba City

This is a small town in the middle of nowhere. However, I was on my way to the Grand Canyon and this was a good stopping point on my 3 day drive. The drive to Tuba City was very scenic with incredible rock formations and pretty good roads. Traffic was not heavy in March and I enjoyed the vistas along the way. The New Mexico portion of the drive was not that scenic, but once into Arizona it really started to look incredible. Tuba City is only an hour from the east entrance to the Grand Canyon and I found this a very easy way into the park. Far less traffic than the south entrance.

I was there to tour the Hopi reservation Which I did with a guide. I was also interested in the problems the Tribe are encountering today and see if there is anything a person like me can help with. The information I received helped me decide what I could do to help. What a wonderful experience.

Code Talker exhibit was nice. We stayed between Monument Valley and Flagg; Tuba City is about the best you'll get on that route! Not a lot of food choice beyond Fast Food and bad Chinese. Be careful on the time zones, the Navajo side is 1 hour ahead as they observe DST, while the Hopi side does not and stays on MST. And no alcohol is allowed anywhere, so be careful to leave it hidden in your car!
