I laughed aloud at the incredulous poor management of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
Signage says that 40% of the Navajo Nation lives under the poverty line. What do the entrance fees for that park go to? Not road improvement. Not campground improvement. Not signage … aside from the poverty sign.
The same day I traveled to camp at Navajo National Monument.
… it preserves three of the most intact cliff dwellings of the ancestral puebloan people (Hisatsinom).
The Navajo people who live here today call these ancient ones Anasazi. The monument is high on the Shonto plateau, overlooking the Tsegi Canyon system in the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. …
Rangers guide visitors on free tours of the Keet Seel and Betatakin (Bitátʼahkin in Navajo) cliff dwellings. …
Superb. That attraction is perfectly managed. Congratulations.
It’s run by the National Park Service, but with mostly Navajo employees, by the looks of things.
One example of the government doing a better job than non-government managers.
