Your complete guide to a trip to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park - Plan your trip for a 1/2 day with a night at Goulding’s Lodge or the View to enjoy a sunset and a sunrise at the park. Hike Wildcat Trail, and enjoy the 17-mile driving loop on your own if you have a vehicle with higher clearance or book a tour guide. Mile Marker 13 on US-163 marks the spot where Forrest Gump stopped running, which you can take a selfie at on your way out of the park. I’ve also included ideas other nearby hiking destinations to include on your road trip to Monument Valley.
