How much driving do you want to do? Albuquerque to Flagstaff is 323 miles. The route described through Chama, Durango, Cortez and Page is 755 miles.
There is more to see along this route than was mentioned. The drive from Abiquiu to the Christ in the Desert Monastery is very scenic. Tent Rocks National Monument and the drive up to the Veterens Memorial Overlook is worth visiting in my opinion. Bandelier National Monument is West of Santa Fe. The Turquoise Trail Scenic Byway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe takes you through the old mining towns of Madrid (where the movie "Wild Hogs" was filmed) and Cerrilos. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is in Chama.
Just to the North of this route from Cortez to Page is the Monument Valley and Bluff area with the
Monument Valley Tribal Park, UT-261 the Moki Dugway Scenic Backway, Goosenecks State Park, Hovenweep National Monument, Natural Bridges National Monument, Bluff Fort, South Fork of Mule Canyon and House on Fire, and The Valley of The Gods.
We have spent a lot more than ten days in these areas and still not seen it all.
