Discover Sanders, Az
Sanders, Arizona is a small Navajo Nation community in Apache County, located at the junction of I-40 and Us-191. With a population of about 575, it sits at 5,866 ft elevation near Chambers, Holbrook, and Gallup.
It's known for its Route 66 history, including the 1923 Sanders Bridge and long-running Burnham's Trading Post. The town has deep Navajo cultural roots, shaped by relocation during the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. The landscape features juniper, piñon pine, and views of the Defiance Plateau.
Today, Sanders is a quiet stop offering a mix of cultural heritage, historic roadside Americana, and proximity to northern Arizona's scenic high desert.

Apache County
“Possessing a unique and distinct beauty, ours is a county of contrasts. From the blue spruce and aspen-covered mountains near Alpine and Nutrioso to Greer Valley where the clear, cold waters of the Little Colorado River flow northward to Round Valley and St. Johns, and truly a world apart, the Navajo Nation lands with their piñon-covered mesas, red sandstone cliffs, huge open valleys, and hidden canyons, the splendor of Apache County abounds.”
