Welcome to Tuba City & Moenkopi

Hwy 160 splits these contiguous towns in two: to the northwest, Tuba City is the largest single community in the Navajo Nation; to the southeast is the village of Moenkopi, a small Hopi island surrounded by Navajo land. Moenkopi has a gas station, a new 24-hour Denny's and one of the best hotels on either reservation – but not much else.

Tuba City is named for 19th-century Hopi chief Tuve (or Toova), who converted to Mormonism, then welcomed a group of Utah Mormons to build a village of their own, next to Moenkopi. The best reason to stop on this side of Hwy 160 is the Explore Navajo Interactive Museum.
