The 17-mile Valley Drive gravel road runs straight through the valley from the visitor center. Even if the journey can be bumpy and rough at times, the route poses no problems for most passenger cars if the road conditions are dry and you drive carefully.

Various alternative bays along the route invite you to enjoy the view of sandstone monuments such as Elephant Butte ("Elephant Mountain") and Totem Pole ("Totem Pole"). However, if you want to stop for a photo or stretch your legs, be aware that hiking is not permitted in the desert.

At John Ford's Point, members of the Navajo tribe offer jewelry, pottery, and other crafts. The most popular vantage point is named after director John Ford, who used the valley as a backdrop for various Western films such as Ringo.

You should plan two hours for the entire route.
