Monument Valley to Grants, NM

We're currently at Monument Valley and are heading toward Grants. MapQuest has us taking "Indian Rte 59" between US160 and US191. We're towing a 35 foot 5th wheel and I'm concerned about the condition of Indian Rte 59.
  • We were across that a little over a year ago. Not bad road, bumpy in places. Lots of wide open spaces. As always on the REZ, watch the speed and for animals and people wandering beside the road.

  • Several things you can do. I use a trucker's atlas to see if the route is good enough for an 18-wheeler. I also use Google Maps to actually look at the road and even get onto the road in Street View.
  • FYI if you are just passing thru Grants a great overnight spot is 26 miles East of Grants. Dancing Eagle Casino RV Park $10.00 full hookups.
  • If I recall and it has been several years. It wasn't bad not the best but should be fine.
  • never driven it but shows to be about 44 miles to 191 hwy. it shows to be a 2 lane scenic route. google also routes you through there so I suspect it is ok
