Reassurance shield after 163 as we head out of Kayenta. This is some desolate country.

41 miles to US-191. This is about the most boring 41 miles you’ll ever drive on. Good time to pick up a Navajo hitch hiker, honestly.

8 miles later, we’ll approach Indian 59, which heads down to Chinle

33 miles to US-191. Cortez, Colorado appears as a destination for the first time. People talk about the Oklahoma Panhandle as desolate, but I visited this area and that area within a week of each other and this is way more boring and desolate.

The only thing this area has is the occasional rock formation, and those are nifty, but not all that frequent.

Follow 191 south to Chinle and Ganado. There’s a McDonalds in Window Rock and Shiprock, if that’s interesting.

Follow 191 south to I-40 (!) which is a hell of a trek. Stay on 160 west/191 north for Utah and Colorado.

Turn right for 191 south. Stay straight for 160 west/191 north. As far as ADOT is concerned, this is the technical end of US-191. 160 carries it a few miles, and then BIA 12 carries it up to Utah, maintained by the BIA instead of ADOT. UDOT maintains it once we hit Utah.
