I drove thru the Navajo reservation this past weekend and was stunned by the beauty of the place. After reading the hate that was spewed in this thread I figured it would be three plus hours of shanties and dilapidated trailers. Tuba City and Kaynta were dumps but the rest of the place in both AZ and UT was amazing. Monument Valley was both enormous and indescribable. I can't comment of the CCW situation but I didn't see a single tribal officer "clocking" traffic. DPS on the other hand had a heyday on 89.
I drive through there at least 6 times a year. You think Kayenta is a dump?
Its one of the nicest towns on the entire rez. The "rest of the place" you refer to up through Monument and on into Utah is mostly unpopulated and IS very beautiful. Take 191 up through Ganado and Chinle sometime and then let us know what you think...again, once you're away from the "populated" areas its quite beautiful, Canyon De Chelly is awesome.
DPS is ALWAYS nailing folks on 89, usually within 30 miles or so of Flag...
