Advantages: famous, interesting scenery

Disadvantages: far away, Native Americans

This is a very worthwhile place to visit if you checking the scenery in Arizon / Utah, but I can't stop thinking about how much better it would be if the Navajo werent there.

Now im not saying the Navajo themselves are bad, it just Native American reserves : they can't take care of them at all. They make messes of these beautiful pieces of land that they worked so hard to get back from the government. The indian reservation from corner to corner of the nation are like this, with rusty cars crashed all over the place and rubbish dumps they make in the scenic areas. If only.......

But its still worth coming here. You may or may not know it but you will have seen these wonderful pillars of rock in many a film, book and TV program. They, like a lot of the landscape in this area of the USA is like nothing else in the world and will stick in your mind forever, despite the hearty efforts of age acting on the mind.

Just dont buy any Indian crap from the shops, its made in Taiwan. Oh yeah and Tuba City : a gas station and a few shoddy trailers. Try and accomodate yourselves somewhere else!
