Can you travel on state highways through Navajo Nation land during the time of Covid restrictions?

I crossed the Navajo Nation back in June.

At that time, the curfew was only in effect at night. I did not try to cross during it.

There was no problem driving on 98, 160 or 163. The only road block I came across was on the road leading into Monument Valley Tribal Park.

I stopped at a gas station and was impressed at the care everyone was taking to distance, mask and clean hands. I made sure to take extreme caution as well and was made to feel welcome despite a very out of state license plate.

Local news from August indicates that county, state and federal highways aren’t included in the road closure order.

The resolution closes Navajo-owned and maintained roads, about 5,000 miles, to outside tourists and visitors. County, state, federal roads aren’t included, but Shorty said that shouldn’t be construed as an invitation for tourism.

So you should be fine if you stay on such roads and don’t drive into Navajo roads.
