Steve’s take

Iconic red sandstone buttes rising 1,000 feet from the desert floor — the John Ford, Forrest Gump, Marlboro Man landscape. Sits on Navajo Nation land (separate $8 entry fee, not the National Park pass). The 17-mile scenic drive is unpaved and rough but passable in regular cars. Backcountry tours require a Navajo guide ($65/person). Magnificent sunrise photos. Off US-163 on the Arizona–Utah border.
