Pas d'hotel réservé. On improvisera...quelques pistes quand même from frommers


In addition to the lodgings listed here, you'll find several budget motels north of Monument Valley in the Utah towns of Mexican Hat and Bluff. When it's time for a meal, try the View Restaurant, which is in the park's visitor center and more than lives up to its name. Alternatively, try the Stagecoach Dining Room at Goulding's. The Navajo steak, served atop fry bread, is great! If you need a latte to get you on down the road, stop by Shepherd's Eyes (tel. 928/697-3368), an espresso bar and Internet cafe 1/4 mile west of the junction of U.S. 160 and U. S. 163. This cafe also serves Navajo tea, which is made from a wild plant that grows in the area.

I could have done better: more funny hotels (but my husband has tons of rewards at Hilton's and the best lodges in national parks were already overbooked in March when I did our reservations, true!), more funny things to plan...and not to do! That's the secret: plan a lot to improvise a lot (not very sure of my english here). Be the God of luck and the happy surprises be with us. Let's the wind guide our feet,inspire us maybe could be less trivial!
