Best Route Gallup to Monument Valley?

What is the easiest, least stressful drive (not necessarily shortest) from Gallup to Monument Valley pulling a 34' fifth wheel?

    Please be sensitive and informed of tribal closures. They've had a horrible time with the pandemic and they could use your help in preventing the spread.


    Absolutely!!

    491 North of Gallup is a good road
    At Shiprock I would take 64 to 160 -- also good roads. Lots of big RV's run that road.
    Gas up at Shiprock. Fuel stops are less frequent in those parts.


    THANKS!!! Exactly what I needed.
  • None of the roads in the area are difficult. Take your choice.
  • Also, make absolutely sure you check with any establishment you plan on visiting that is within the Navajo Nation as Health Emergency Orders could shut down tourist sites, gas station, restaurants and even restrict travel on some roads. These orders could be planned and announced or they may be imposed as an immediate order without advance notice.
