The annular solar eclipse that will take place on October 14 will cross directly over Monument Valley Tribal Park.
Unfortunately, the park will be closed for five hours that day.
Forbes reported:
Will Monument Valley be open for the “ring of fire” solar eclipse on Oct. 14? No—the iconic destination within the Navajo Nation on the Arizona-Utah border will be closed for five hours over the “ring of fire” annular solar eclipse, it has been confirmed.
A public notice dated Friday, Sept, 15 is now displayed on the website of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park that reads:
“Please Be Advised the Navajo Tribal Parks will be in observance of the Eclipse on October 14, 2023 in regards to cultural beliefs during the eclipse. Navajo Tribal Parks will be Closed from 8:00 am and will reopen at 1:00 pm.”
My home in Jamestown, New Mexico will be on the eclipse's path, so I don't have to drive anywhere to see it.
