Talk:Monument Valley
From Wikitravel
[edit] Separate article?
I'm not convinced this deserves a separate article. If it really is true that the nearest lodging is in Kayenta, I would incline to believe that it does not, and that a merger with Navajo Nation is indicated. However, I thought there is actually lodging in Monument Valley itself, which qualifies it under the "stay a night" criterion. Anybody? -- Bill-on-the-Hill 19:36, 23 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Goulding's Lodge is in Monument Valley. In addition, since both Kayenta and Mexican Hat are so far away I would think that Monument Valley could have its own article based solely on the fact that it's a major attraction not located near anything else, kind of like Stonehenge. -- Ryan 22:08, 23 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Fair enough. I'd already referenced Goulding's Lodge in the Navajo Nation article, and as much as anything else, was concerned that it was closed or something. (That would be a loss.) OK to leave this, but somebody needs to put some flesh on the bones; I don't know Monument Valley well enough to add much myself. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 09:28, 26 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Hopefully the lodge is still open -- the web site lists a reservations link. I was in Monument Valley in April, but camped and didn't pay much attention to lodging, although I seem to recall signs for something. I'll try to add a bit more to this article when I get a chance, but my memory isn't the greatest and info online is a bit patchy. Alternatively, if you or I don't do it then someone is bound to come along and start filling out the sections. -- Ryan 02:44, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)
