Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the main entrance of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Head southeast on US-163 S for approximately 6 miles. Turn left onto Indian Route 42, and continue for about 2 miles. You will see THE CUBE on your right side, just off the road. There is no entrance fee specifically for THE CUBE, but there is a general entrance fee for the tribal park.
Public Transportation
Public transportation options are limited in Monument Valley. However, you can take a Navajo Nation shuttle service from Kayenta to Monument Valley. Once in Monument Valley, you will need to hire a private tour or a local guide who can take you to THE CUBE, as it is not accessible by the shuttle service. Make sure to arrange this in advance, and expect costs to vary based on the service.
