Auto Touring
The view from the visitor center is quite spectacular, but most of the park can only be seen from a 17-mile dirt road which starts there and goes southeast among the cliffs and mesas. The road is very rough and difficult for non-4WD vehicles. This may help business for the many Navajo guides and 4WD jeep rentals, which wait near the visitor center. The following features can be seen on this tour:
- The Mittens and Merrick Butte
- Elephant Butte
- Three Sisters
- John Ford's Point
- Camel Butte
- The Hub
- Totem Pole and Yei Bi Chei
- Sand Springs
- Artist's Point
- North Window
- The Thumb
