Naat’tis’aan “Navajo Mountain” Scenic Road Naat’tis’aan “Navajo Mountain” Scenic Road

Naat'tsis'aan Navajo Mountain Scenic Road is a 66-mile drive across the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. It runs from US Highway 160 near Cow Springs along State Route 98 to US Highway 89 near Page. Much of the route crosses wide-open desert grassland, with red sandstone mesas, buttes, and spires standing in the distance and, on clear days, views toward Navajo Mountain itself and the slot-canyon country around Antelope Canyon. Navajo Mountain, which gives the road its name, is one of the earliest known Navajo settlement sites and is held sacred by the Navajo as well as the Hopi, Zuni, and Paiute, with oral traditions tied to the mountain reaching back thousands of years; non-Navajo access to the mountain itself remains tightly restricted by the tribe. Services along the drive are scarce, limited mainly to a small general store in Kaibito, a village set a half-mile off the highway, so travelers typically fuel up in Page before setting out. It's a quiet, culturally significant crossing of Navajo land rather than a stop-heavy tourist route.
