Leaving the Park

The story

Highway 64 leaves the park on this stretch and runs on through the Navajo Nation. Navajo Nation law applies on tribal land, and from March to November the Nation keeps daylight saving time, so its clock can run an hour ahead of the park's. The East Entrance station takes park fees by card or pass.

You've been a guest of the Navajo Nation since Cameron, and the park lies ahead. The Nation covers more than twenty-five thousand square miles, and its parks department calls it our Great Nation. Two things change at the park. The clock. From March to November the Nation runs an hour ahead of the park, so check any time you're counting on. The booth. The East Entrance station is a few miles on. The fee is thirty-five dollars a vehicle, by card or pass, no cash. Have yours out.
