Visitors wanting to make the drive, but not really drive

the whole way to Monument Val-ley, can now call the Front Desk.Beginning in the new year, one can

book an unforgettable Monument Valley tour and experience from the convenience of the Quality Inn Tuba City. Tuba City has become known as the “Hub” of Northern Arizona and is situated nicely in be-tween magnificent Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Monument Valley.

Relax and arrive in Tuba City on Friday; check-in and enjoy a wonderful tour of the Explore Navajo Interactive Museum, a one-stop cultural experience. It is an extraordinary look at the Navajo people, society, accomplishments and historic contributions. The Museum was created with the help of leading Navajo scholars, museum personnel and the Navajo artistic community to provide a vibrant experience for people of all ages and all nations. The premiere of this cultural exhibit was at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The showcase marked the first time the Navajo Nation, in its own words, told its story to the world. Come and view this exquisite glimpse into a world and culture like no other!

After a hearty dinner at the Hogan restaurant, slip into the Hogan Espresso and More coffee shop for a nice warm cup of coffee on the patio and enjoy one of the best Southwest sunsets. Slowly relax into a

meditation that gets you prepared for the journey tomorrow. The Quality Inn Navajo Nation in Tuba City, AZ has the pleasure of tucking you into a comfortable slumber.

Arise the next morning and order up your choice of complimentary hot break-fast. From sausage biscuit to French toast, there is something to enjoy. Simp-son’s Trailhandler Tours will meet you after break-fast for a quick run-down

of the day’s itinerary. Then board your van and begin your dash to Monument Valley. Along the way you’ll see several historical sites and modern homes to contrast. Na-vajoland has so much to offer an inquiring guest. Stories and myths dated many years before bring clarity to this country within a country.

Arrive in Monument Valley and explore for a couple of hours. Have local guides tell you the stories that were carried down to them from generations prior. Listen to songs and music as you come to the serene moment you have been searching for. After the final group shot photo has been taken, surrender your energy... and let Simpson Trailhandlers bring you back to Tuba City. Enjoy dinner, and kick off your shoes in your room. Review your digital photos, place stamps on your postcards and call it a day.

You’ve enjoyed an amazing three-day weekend; now time to head home.
