Northeast Arizona Travel Guide

Relatively few visitors experience the vast, sweeping northeast quadrant of Arizona, which comprises the Navajo and Hopi reservations but spend a few days here and you'll be rewarded with stunning scenery and the chance to learn about some of the world's most vibrant indigenous communities. This is part of the West's great Four Corners Region, home to the underrated and spectacular Canyon de Chelly National Monument as well as the dramatic buttes and canyons of Monument Valley. Page is outside tribal lands, and is a good anchor for exploring the 200 mi of shoreline that fringe crystalline Lake Powell. It's a four- to six-hour drive from Phoenix to reach northeastern Arizona, but just a 90-minute drive from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

About the Photo

About the Photo Monument Valley, Arizona
"My husband had been traveling with his brother on their motorcycles to Sturgis, South Dakota from our home in Florida, and en route from Colorado to Arizona he called me to fly in and join him in Sedona. Upon arriving, he made it a point to drive all the way back to this point on his trip so that I could see this magnificent view!"
