PS: Not being an editor on your points of interest, but having been to the Four Corners a few times, it is completely skip able, imo, unless you/your daughter simply have to have a pic of your feet on the metal plaque showing the 'four corners.
-Monument Valley: to really 'see it', hire a Navaho guide to drive you two into the heart of the Valley. Easy to cop a rez, not expensive, about half a day, and you will see stuff one simply cannot see from the main road. And, don't drive your X into the dirt road that is available, imo.
-Mesa Verde Nat Park in SW CO, (looks like you are going right past it), is an excellent half day, guided into the heart of the cliff dwelling ruins, which are not 'ruined'.
-No travel guide, but I have done 5 m'cycle trips all around your planned travel area, and an extensive 13,000 mile Vette car trip in same, a couple summers ago. If you want more opins, let me know.  |
Awesome! Thanks! We are doing a guide through Antelope, so I will check into Monument Valley. Do you think that and Mesa Verde can be done in a day with a stop by 4 corners?
You guessed correctly. My daughter has to see 4 corners. I went when I was her age and was impressed only with having been there rather than what I saw.
And we're doing Mesa Verde (I think that's #24), but Roadtrippers only allows 31 way points on a trip, so I had to break them up. I'm kind of a planning nut, so I even have one with places we intend to eat. I have Calendar invites with all the hotel reservation info, jeep tours, and addresses of dinners and even lunches.
The Roadtrippers plan with Route 66 is nearly filled with all the weird stuff we may want to see. Diners, gift shops, Cadillac Ranch, etc.
