Navajo Nation

Last year we went from Denver to Moab and then to St George and south to Big River/Parker. This year we may be in Moab again so I'm wondering how people feel about going south through the reservation. I did search a little and noticed that no alcohol is allowed and it seemed that concealed carry and guns are ok if you dont leave the federal highway.

I did notice on here a while back about rv's being pelted with rocks in one of the Canadian reservations but didn't run across anything like that in the USA. I know someone in Colorado who wont go that way to Phoenix because of having a vehicle break down and stripped long ago but that's just one person long ago. Seems like a lot of people would be doing it but what can you tell me about it. Thanks

    Well you know the cowboys and Indians are still fighting it out in the wild west, you might want to watch out for bullets and arrows.

    Really? Millions upon millions of cars, trucks and RV's travel the highways through the Navajo nation every year with no problems, you won't even realize your on the reservation if you happen to miss the signs that say you are.

    the only caveat I would say is that if you stop at overlooks where you have to walk a ways out of sight of your vehicle, if you see an old beat up pickup in the corner of the lot with two old geezers sitting in it, have one person stay with the vehicle. after a trip through I noticed paint chipped off the edge of my door and it finally dawned on me that somebody had tried to jimmy their way in with a tool.
