1) AZ-64 to US-89 to US-160 to US-191

OR

2) AZ-64 to US-89 to US-160 to US-163 to US-191

I think 163 to 191 is good. Not much to see as you go towards the 4 corners area. Plenty of gas up to Kayenta on the Navajo res. then not much until Blanding. easy run, not bad road just a little narrow in places. Will take you right through Monument valley. Watch your speed and for animals and people along or on the road on the Reservation.

They both take the same amount of time. 163 gives you fantastic views of Monument Valley but the road is a little rough in a few places and there is a very steep section south of the San Juan river. The other way is boring and has a very rough section.
I have been both ways many times and prefer the Monument Valley route.
