Farmington New Mexico is a lovely large town (very small city but I park in Los Angeles). There are days worth of Indian heritage to view, both ancient and recent history. I'm sort a history buff and really enjoy the local museums. There is Four Corners, the spot where 4 states meet, not really much to see, it is a National preserve in the middle of Indian country so there is a fee to drive up the road to see the landmark. The roadside stand does sell some really fantastic Indian flat bread. A bit south is Monument Valley, Gouldings Campground is the only game in town, but it is full hookup and the view is spectacular. I personally find Monument Valley one of those places at the top of the Natural Wonders list. As a bonus, as you drive through on the road that should be called a jeep road, or when you take the tour and let the Indian guides drive you, you can envision the filming of almost every western movie you saw as a kid. We picnicked in a secluded area and I swore I could hear or feel the Calvary trumpets over the ridge. It really is spectacular. From Farmington you'll only be about 30 minutes from Durango Colorado, another beautiful town/city and Mesa Verda where one can spend days touring the Indian villages built into the side of the mountains.
Yes, there is a lot to see and do.
Happy Trails.
