Navajo Roadside Kiosk

DAY 6
TUES 2 OCT 2012
Drive: from Monument Valley, AZ to Cortez, Colorado.

Navajo roadside kiosk, somewhere along mile marker 13 (Utah), US HWY 163.

There are many small roadside kiosks like this scattered throughout the Navajo Nation reservation. You can buy beautiful handmade jewellery made with local gems and minerals (turquoise, silver, spiny oyster, agate, onyx, coral, etc). Sometimes there may be blankets and rugs, and horsehair pottery. And if you're lucky, you may encounter a professional Navajo artist along the way.
