Major airlines serve the Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Denver airports, while smaller airlines offer scheduled flights to Flagstaff, Arizona, and Farmington, New Mexico, just outside the Navajo Nation. Rental cars are available at all these airports. Flagstaff and Farmington are each about 150 miles, or three hours drive, from Monument Valley.

From the north, follow Hwy 191 from Moab, Utah, through Monticello and Blanding to Bluff. Then take Hwy 163 to Monument Valley. The best road map for the region is the widely available AAA “Indian Country” map.
