Default Re: Need top 10 gotta' do/see list for Utah & AZ.....

Adding to what others have said here...

Burr Trail east out of Boulder, UT... Calf Creek State Park between Escalante and Boulder, UT on Hwy 12 is a nice little place to camp out... There are a few hiking trails out of the campground into the surrounding canyons..

In AZ.. It's not exactly an offroad adventure, but go North out of Gallup, NM on old Hwy 666, turn west on 264 across the Navajo Reservation. I imagine you'll need permission if you plan on camping anywhere on the reservation, not sure though. But on more detailed maps you'll find a place just west of Hwy 87 called Old Oraibi.. It's claim to fame..?? It's the OLDEST constantly settled village in North America.. Some of it's residents claim it's over 10,000 years old, but I think the reality of it dates closer to 1150AD. You can drive up to the village, but do not drive into it. Park in front of the first Kiva (house).. It's actually a small Hopi Crafts store. Do not enter the village even on foot unless invited.. When I was there a year or so ago, I knew not to enter the village common and was shocked when I was invited into the village. I'd spent about an hour or so talking to the couple running the crafts store before that. I'm pretty sure now that it may have been the current chief and his wife I'd been talking with. One of the most important thing is PLEASE don't make pictures in Oraibi.. Many of the people there still hold the faiths and beliefs of their ancestors close and with that is the belief that their souls are captured on the picture when it's taken, even if they can't be seen... That's the story they use anyway.. It's more from the fact that old west photographers took their pictures, sold them to magazines and made money and no money made it's way back to the tribe. They aren't greedy.. They are poor and feel like they were used... So if you go by there.. Buy something.. ANYTHING..
