GOULDINGS LODGE & CAMPGROUND
Gouldings Lodge ain't fancy.
But that's the point.
Do we really want condo hotels and the pinot noir-sipping crowd to destroy the price point at this famous trading post at the edge of Monument Valley Tribal Park?
The rooms are simple and clean. We even managed to make one fairly wheelchair-accessible, even with two beds in a smallish room.
The restaurant is simple, but you can get fat on Navajo fry bread (butter & honey), fried chicken, real beef stew and lots of other simple, out west food.
Book a jeep or plane tour of Monument Valley -- we took the jeep and even with arthritic joints that require the use of a wheelchair for mobility, we weren't bounced around too much.
Can't say enough about this majestic place. Make sure to strike up a conversation with Ronnie Baird, the innkeeper.
