Questions & answers

Q:
Are dogs allowed in this part?
A:
I really don't think it's a problem as long as they are on a leash and you pick up after them. This doesn't seem to be a busy park, but the views are worth the stop!
Q:

A:
There is no place to boondock there, and you have to be careful because that area is the Navajo reservation. I do recommend Homolovi State Park though for camping. It's about 6 …

There is no place to boondock there, and you have to be careful because that area is the Navajo reservation. I do recommend Homolovi State Park though for camping. It's about 6 miles away, the campground is VERY reasonable ($18.00 per night which includes water and electric PLUS they have FREE showers). That also includes the admission for the ruins.
Q:
Park entrance fee
A:
No park entrance fee.

Q:
What is the park entrance fee?
A:
Don't think there is one, we just pulled off the road. There is a picnic area but not much else. We think there is an entrance fee at the Homolovi Park (Hopi Ruins, shop etc) further up the road.
Q:
Can you walk IN the little painted desert, among the colors, and/or along the sides.
A:
There are no gates/fencing in this area. I'm sure you could attempt to walk down but not sure how safe it would be. I wouldn't recommend. We just walked along the perimeter …

There are no gates/fencing in this area. I'm sure you could attempt to walk down but not sure how safe it would be. I wouldn't recommend. We just walked along the perimeter because we were traveling with a 18 month old. This "outlook" looks down into the little painted desert. As well I'm not sure if the mountains/hills are sand or harden clay.
