In part. There is a portion of the Tribal Park that is accessible by private vehicles. 4X4 or high clearance vehicles are recommended to negotiate the dirt and sandy road, but are not required. However, there are additional areas of the park only available to be seen with a Navajo guide so the best way to experience the Park is on an escorted tour with a certified Navajo Guide who will share the cultural connection to the scenic beauty of the land in areas that are not open to private vehicles.

Because this is Tribal land with land controlled by local families, you can not hike in the Park without a certified Navajo Guide. The only exception is the Wildcat Trail that begins at The View Hotel.

The best place to see the sunrise is from your guestroom balcony or from the patio while enjoying breakfast. Sunset is best seen from inside the Park on a guided sunset tour.

Park tours are almost always available for booking on the morning that you intend to tour, however, advance reservations are recommended for full day tours. The View Hotel encourages bookings directly with Navajo guides. Information is available at: www.navajonationparks.org/tours
