Kayenta travel guide

Kayenta (Navajo: Tó Dinéeshzhee) is a census-designated place which is part of the Navajo Nation and is in Navajo County, Arizona, USA. The population was 4,922 at the 2000 census. Kayenta is located immediately south of Monument Valley (some of the buttes of which are visible from Kayenta's streets) and contains a number of hotels and motels which service visitors to the valley.

5$ ist die Gebühr für den Tag. Auf alle Fälle mit dem Auto durchs Monument Valley fahren. Am Parkplatz versuchen Einheimische einem zu einer geführten Tour zu überreden. Mir war sie mit 50$ Sonderpreis (normal 65$) zu teuer. Es ist einfach ein Erlebnis selbst durchzufahren.Hier wurden in de 50igern viele Western gedreht. An jeder Station an der man anhält um zu fotografieren stehen Stände der Navajo mit Schmuck.
