Gallup Travel Information

reservations, Gallup is located within a short drive of several
important Native American cultural sites and a handful of recreational
opportunities. All and all, Gallup is a good jumping off point for
exploration of the northwest corner of the state. Gallup's main
drag is studded with economical accommodations with choices ranging
from local motels to bigger chain hotel options. There is no shortage
of chain restaurants in Gallup, though visitors will find several
local eateries to choose from for some dining variety, with all
establishments here catering to road weary travelers. To learn more
