4Day 3. Drive From Grand Canyon To Monument Valley
On this day you’ll be driving approximately 175 miles from the Grand Canyon to magnificent Monument Valley, Utah. Day Three involves a little time making only minimal detours to see a few things and stretch your legs as well. Visit Tsegi Canyon and catch a glimpse at the ancient settlements carved into the rock face thousands of years ago by the Anasazi people.
Another point of interest is the memorable rock formation Artenesales de Piedra, a.k.a. Church Rock. Travel a few more miles and see the rugged red rock landscape known as Baby Rocks. It’s reminiscent of Bryce Canyon’s terrain.
You can make Page your base of operations since it’s not far from Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Horseshoe Bend. If you make good time, stop by Mexican Hat. The town was named this because it’s shaped like a Mexican sombrero. Of course, the main “must-see” site is the Navajo National Monument.

Hi!
Your trip sounds good too but we had to cover a lot of area in 10 days. We all have our own opinions and favorites. I just think it’s great we have so many options!
