    No cost to drive through. It does cost to go in the park if you choose too. I do not know the current status but the reservation was closed a while back. They discouraged travel had a curfew but you could still drive through though but you may not have been able to stop. May very well be different by now and certainly y the time you go. The Navajo nation has a website that will have any restrictions posted

    US163 is federal highway.

    The monument mesas are off in the distance on either side as you pass though. I'm sure you'll see signs at the Gouldings turn off indicating what is open or not.

    Looks like Gouldings is open, but the Tribal Park on the other side of the highway, with the best tour views is closed.

    Check with the Najavo Nation before you leave. They are having a very rough time.

    If Gouldings RV park is closed, a new KOA opened a year ago just north of there. Very nice place. Better than Goudings.
