Tuba City

Understand

Downtown Tuba, with the Tuba Trading Post and the Explore Navajo museum

Tuba City is the largest settlement on the Arizona side of the Navajo Nation. There is little to detain the traveler, but it makes a good refueling stop on the way from Monument Valley to the Grand Canyon.
