Search hotels in Tuba City, AZ

Tuba City is a great location for starting a drive across northern Arizona (and on into New Mexico). This is a small town, but there is a restaurant at the hotel and several known places to eat there. The hotel also has a trading post and other features, but we arrived too late to see those.

Tuba City is not a tourist destination; rather, it is a base for touring the area between the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. Tuba City, itself, has little for the tourist, but the Navaho Interactive Museum and associated Trading Post are not to be missed. See Tuba City for what it is, an opportunity to learn about one of the most underappreciated and invisible cultures and peoples in America.

This is a small town in the middle of nowhere. However, I was on my way to the Grand Canyon and this was a good stopping point on my 3 day drive. The drive to Tuba City was very scenic with incredible rock formations and pretty good roads. Traffic was not heavy in March and I enjoyed the vistas along the way. The New Mexico portion of the drive was not that scenic, but once into Arizona it really started to look incredible. Tuba City is only an hour from the east entrance to the Grand Canyon and I found this a very easy way into the park. Far less traffic than the south entrance.
