There was nobody who knew...

There was nobody who knew anything about this. Tour at the Visitor Center, I had no clue what to do. So went in the park and booked a jeep trip with a navajo guide.This was a total waste. I also wouldn't have let me in in my sedan, which is, would I plan to do.

Take your time and enjoy each area. It is magical! If you stop the recording and get off track, be sure to unlock it so you have the correct recording at the correct location.

Operator response

Hi Nancy! Thank you for the review and the tip! This is one of my favorite parks in the west and the stories of the Navajo are amazing. I hope you tried the fry bread! The stand there is so cool, and the views, are some of the best in the world. Thanks again! Greg
